Re: exim __newbie__
I ran into this problem a while ago...
Basically, I came to the conlcusion that you should configure your
mail program to replace the from header. For Example, in Mutt, just
add the following to your muttrc file:
my_hdr From: Tomislav Renic \<tomi@engineer.com\>
my_hdr Reply-To: Tomislav Renic \<tomi@engineer.com\>
This sets the reply-to and the From header to whatever you want...
Having said that, I'm not sure how to make exim do the work, and was
unsuccesful trying to find an answer...
