Have we been told what your subscribed address is? I've assumed that it's the one in the envelope-from of the post I'm replying to. (I don't want to quote it.) Is that correct? Or maybe that …CII.eu one? > > Is it because Exim 4.89 said "MAIL FROM:<...subscribed.address...>" to > > lists.debian.org ? > > "subscribed.address" is the HELO and can be what I want it to be. See > the headers of my previous mail. Why would you use a "subscribed.address" (presumably an email address) for your HELO (presumably actually a EHLO). I was under the impression that it should be a domain, ie a FQDN. > > Or is it because the first mail hop added "envelope-from" to its Received: > > header ? > > > > Received: from ... by ... with local (Exim 4.89) > > (envelope-from <...>) > > id 1iHRiB-0006S7-Ks > > for debian-user@lists.debian.org; Mon, 07 Oct 2019 13:01:59 +0100 > > I can alter that too, and still be designated LDOSUBSCRIBER. Have we observed that? I only had LDOSUBSCRIBER bestowed on me when my envelope-from became the same as my subscribed address, which followed as a consequence of my adopting the .corp domain name last year after seeing https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/02/12/icann_corp_home_mail_gtlds/ Until then, exim4 didn't seem able to rewrite my headers because I didn't have a dot in my FQDN, only an unadorned hostname. Cheers, David.
