I was looking at the Debian mailing list archives for some info this morning and came across one of my old postings. The headers read as under:
To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: exim problem - rejecting senders From: Sam Varghese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2001 15:15:36 +1000 Mail-Followup-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sender: Sam Varghese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i I was quite surprised to see the Sender line. Out of curiosity, I checked the same message in my back-up folder and saw these headers: >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Sep 30 15:15:36 2001 Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2001 15:15:36 +1000 From: Sam Varghese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: exim problem - rejecting senders Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mail-Followup-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: RO Content-Length: 767 Lines: 24 Some time back, I had the same problme but dman gave me some tips on configuring my muttrc and they seemed to have gone away. Why does this Sender line come out as [EMAIL PROTECTED] True, I log in to my workstation as samuel - should I change this to sam? And would it suffice to change the username in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and then reboot? I'm confused and would appreciate some input on this. Sam -- (Sam Varghese) http://www.gnubies.com
