System: FreeBSD ef80.jnx.de 5.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed Aug 20 13:41:44 CEST 2003 tk@ef80.jnx.de:/home/usr/obj/home/usr/src/sys/GENERIC-DEBUG i386
A freshly installed system.
>Description:
send-pr(1) sends mail with the given "From:" address
but it does not set the mail envelope from.
As a result an delivery error cannot reported to the sender if the
system is not fully configured because of a bad envelope from
<login>@<hostname>
example:
Aug 24 22:10:58 ef80 sm-mta[1266]: h7OKAvej001266: from=<tk@ef80.jnx.de>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The "From:" and the "Reply-To:"-Header was filled with
Thorsten.Kuehnemann@Hamburg.de
>How-To-Repeat:
Use send-pr on a freshly installed system and watch /var/log/maillog.
>Fix:
send-pr calls sendmail directly if $MAIL_AGENT is not set.
sendmail accepts the option "-f $REPLY_TO" to set it right.
The X-Authentication-Warning:-Header should be not a problem.
