>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE i386
>Environment:
FreeBSD, majordomo, procmail as standard local mailer (MDA) in
sendmail, elm as MUA.
>Description:
procmail does not believe majordomo, and inserts a >From_ line
just after the From_ one. This makes elm (and probably other
mailers) to not understand the reply-to field.
probably is a bug in elm or sendmail. Should elm understand
that syntax ? And why sendmail does not change the uid to
root while delivering the message ? Maybe it's a misconfiguration
on my site, but this patch will help others anyway.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a majordomo list with reply-to to the list, in a machine
with procmail as local mail agent in sendmail, and use elm
to reply.
>Fix:
Here's the patch for the procmail port:
