This is *still* happening. Will someone please do something about it? root isn't even mentioned in the headers. I get this error when I mail with one of my complex cookie'd from lines, and don't when I simplify it. Why is this feature even in place? Does it add any kind of value to stop root users posting, even if it doesn't kill innocent mail in the process?

--- Begin Message ---You should not send mail from your »root« account. The »root« is a login that bypasses all security protection on your system. The root account should only be used to perform system administration, and only used for as short a time as possible. You should *not* use the »root« account for daily use or as your personal login. Why not? Well, one reason to avoid using root's privileges is that it is very easy to do irreparable damage as root. Another reason is that you might be tricked into running a Trojan-horse program -- that is a program that takes advantage of your super-user powers to compromise the security of your system behind your back. Any good book on Unix system administration will cover this topic in more detail -- consider reading one if it is new to you. Please use adduser and create a regular user account for you and send mail from that account. If you haven't sent from a root account there is a chance that our list server has inserted a line like "Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" which confuses the lists software. In that case please wait few hours and resend. > From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 16 11:33:07 2000 > Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Received: at Infodrom Oldenburg (/\##/\ Smail-3.2.0.102 1998-Aug-2 #2) > from murphy.debian.org by finlandia.Infodrom.North.DE > via smail with smtp > id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 16 Mar 2000 11:33:04 +0100 (CET) > Received: from ([216.234.231.6]) by teergrube (0 sec delayed, relaying denied) > Received: (qmail 13818 invoked by uid 847); 16 Mar 2000 10:32:31 -0000 > Received: (qmail 13781 invoked by uid 38); 16 Mar 2000 10:32:31 -0000 > Received: (qmail 13774 invoked by uid 38); 16 Mar 2000 10:32:30 -0000 > Date: 16 Mar 2000 10:32:30 -0000 > X-From_:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 16 04:32:30 2000 > X-Envelope-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Received: (qmail 13752 invoked from network); 16 Mar 2000 10:32:26 -0000 > Received: from mooneye.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (HELO ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au) > (130.95.13.9) > by murphy.debian.org with SMTP; 16 Mar 2000 10:32:26 -0000 > Received: from mussel.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [130.95.13.18]) > by ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-6) with ESMTP id > SAA17126; > Thu, 16 Mar 2000 18:32:22 +0800 > Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) > by mussel.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-6) id SAA01423; > Thu, 16 Mar 2000 18:32:21 +0800 > X-Authentication-Warning: mussel.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au: dichro set sender to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] using -f > Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: "Mikolaj J.
