I know that most view this as the wrong thing to do, but I feel I have a decent 
reason why.

I have a debian sarge box running exim4 configured with localhost.localdomain 
and routing through remote smtp smarthost.  Email from it sends just fine via 
the phpmail module that the web site uses.

The problem is that some external smtp servers are choking on Reply-To:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]  This is an obviously unroutable address.

The From field is being populated correctly and the phpmail app does specify 
the Reply-To, but it’s getting rewritten by exim to the www-data address.

 

I threw this into my update-exim4.conf.conf:

dc_headers_rewrite='$h_from: = $h_reply-to:'

Now I get in the header: Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This gets me half way 
there.  Now I just need to be able replace the www-data with the value to the 
left of the @ in the From field.

Any ideas?  I am a complete newbie to Exim and am suprised I got this far.
