Exim's rewriting of headers
I am user js on my computer and user jspies with email address
jspies@sun.ac.za on our network.
I have the following in my /etc/exim/exim.conf
*@bywoner jspies@sun.ac.za Ffrs
Running exim -brw shows this:
zsh % sudo exim -brw root@bywoner
sender: jspies@sun.ac.za
from: jspies@sun.ac.za
to: root@bywoner
cc: root@bywoner
bcc: root@bywoner
reply-to: jspies@sun.ac.za
env-from: jspies@sun.ac.za
env-to: root@bywoner
So why do the headers look like this I send mail from the unix
commandline (mail jspies@sun.ac.za)?:
To: jspies@sun.ac.za
Subject: Toets mail
Message-Id: <E18mB0Q-0003Hh-00@bywoner>
From: Johann Spies <js@bywoner.sun.ac.za>
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 13:06:14 +0200
Return-Path: js@bywoner.sun.ac.za
I suspect this is why my efforts to subscribe on some mailing lists
which request one to send an empty email so the list server failed in
the past because I did most of them from the command line.
Regards.
Johann
