I use sendmail with dovecot's deliver to be able to use the sieve plugin. In my sendmail configuration I replaced the local mailer with: define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver') define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS',`DFMPhfnu9') define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS',`deliver -d $u') MAILER(local) MAILER(smtp) Note the mailer flag "f", thats adds a "-f fromaddress" argument to the deliver program. I have also a proposal for an enhancement to handle plussed addresses, but I'll create a new thread for this topic.
