Re: exim: how to modify the "Sender:" header

["Rahmat M. Samik-Ibrahim" <rms46@vlsm.org>]

Hello:

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, /etc/email-addresses 
modifies the RFC-2822's "From: " header, and NOT the 
"Sender: " one :-(.

I guess, that this is a Netscape mailer problem, since
there is no problem with mutt. Apparently, Netscape
put a non FQDN "Sender: ", and the smarthost adds
its FQDN to that header.

regards,
