Aitchison Kendal, UK > and...@aitchison.me.uk Good point. So I deleted the MAIN_FORCE_SENDER line from exim4.conf.localmacros, ran update-exim4.conf, ran /etc/init.d/exim4 restart, and then ran exim -bP macros | grep MAIN_FORCE_SENDER which now produced no output. Then I ran mailx -r with the desired from address.
All this made absoultely no difference. Exim still rewrites the "From" address. (Actually, that bad MAIN_FORCE_SENDER line was inserted in a misguided previous attempt to fix the problem.) -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
