Normally when I send using mail, I can simply use the -r option to set
the mail user account specified in /etc/exim4/passwd.client. This is
probably clumsy and there must be a better way of doing it but it works.
Now I want to use mutt to send attachments but it doesn't have the -r
option. Putting in "my_hdr From:" in .muttrc doesn't do it either.
Can someone suggest a way to make this work? It's probably trivial but
I can't find the solution via google.
There is a package named exim4-config . Run "dpkg-reconfigure
exim4-config , i.e. reconfigure the config package for exim4, which is
separate from the actual exim4 package. Answer the questions and you get
return address overwriting in exim4 plus other stuff that you would have
never known you needed. To handle a password authorization, read
/usr/share/doc/exim4/README.Debian.html section 2.3 and
man exim_passwd_client for the details of the format of the file
passwd.client
