Dear Debian fans,
there is something which has been bothering me about sendmail for a long
time. In every mail that I write on this machine there is an extra "From "
header line. And because there can't be two one is quoted with ">".
Therefore a simple "echo hello | mail spiegl" reaches my mailbox like this:
=================================================================

hi
=================================================================
Does anyone understand this? This also confuses other software!
I am using sendmail 8.9.3-23.
My sendmail.mc looks like this:
