From: David Kelly To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: sendmail and mh problem Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Am trying to use exmh and cann't figure out how to get the right return/from address into outgoing mail. Sending mail to myself thru my ISP I've progressed to the point I can get it to look like this: From: "David Kelly " by adding a line in ~/.mh_profile: Signature: David Kelly My best guess is now sendmail is rewriting the From: line and appending the extra stuff (which is correctly the domain and name and such I assigned my system). But I'm connected only on dialup thru an ISP, and while n4hhe.ampr.org is a real IP address there isn't a static route to it. So my mail needs to go out with "From dkelly@hiwaay.net" to work right. Reading the ORA Sendmail book suggests there are many different places sendmail could be rewriting my From: lines. I'm lost. Help! Am using whatever sendmail was in 2.1.0R plus 96 ctm-stable patches. 73, -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com (wk), dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
