On Thu, 07 Nov 2002 the mental interface of Sandip P Deshmukh told: > hello! > > i do not know if the problem is with exim or mutt. > > here is what happens - when i send mails, in the From: field, it appears to be coming from > Sandip P Deshmukh <deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com> > > however, on top in my mutt, there is a line that has From but no colon following it. there > it says, it is coming from sandip@escortsmumbai.com > > any ideas as to what is wrong? i want it to be deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com all along I solved that as follows: In muttrc: set envelope_from In exim.conf: #Main section # For untrusted users who are using the -f option untrusted_set_sender = true This will set 1> to From deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com and Return-path: <deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com> In exim.conf [exim 3.3*] # Rewriting section *@*escortsmumbai.com "${if eq {${lc:$sender_address_domain}}\ {escortsmumbai\.com}{} fail}\ ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses-escortsmumbai}\ {$value}fail}" s where /etc/email-addresses-escortsmumbai contains sandip: deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com This will set Sender: to <deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com> With similar rewritings it is possible to handle more accounts ;-) Just the set alternate=.... ones!
