The MTA itself will fill in the envelope sender since it knows which user invoked it and handed it the message. As Grant mentioned at one point, though, that default behavior tends to work best (out-of-the box) on a "real" internet site. However, the default exim configuration on debian provides a convenient way for you to adjust the envelope sender on a per-user basis (/etc/email-addresses). | Wouldn't that point a finger at Mutt? That is a logical conclusion from the statements you made. However the error occurred bewteen exim and yahoo's SMTP server, which means mutt isn't part of the picture then. (and I happen to have recognized what caused the error and what config to correct it :-)) HTH, -D -- If Microsoft would build a car... ... Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the car windows, shut it off, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
