In the past I had this problem - it was an exim problem. (And I'm running the same exim you are).
Exim in debian is configured for security by default - it wants to rewrite the sender so that users can't forge their sender address. My solution is as follows: add the line "trusted_groups = eximusers" to /etc/exim/exim.conf (if it's not already there), then add yourself to the eximusers group. (I don't think trusted_groups opens up any features besides trusting you to set your own sender address) I'm think I'm also set up as "Internet Site using Smarthost" -- not "Satellite System" (in eximconfig), but I'm not exactly sure because I have no way of checking what eximconfig thinks short of overwriting my exim configuration -- and it's been a couple of years.

If you were going to do what you suggest, you'd probably need to subscrube [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the address - but you should try my solution first because who knows what happens if lots of messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] bounce. > > On Tuesday 23 March 2004 5:35 pm, Bill Kendrick wrote: > > On Sun, Mar 21, 2004 at 11:36:31AM -0800, Hans W.
