Hi,
Hi,
I noticed some weird behavior regarding the "From:" header when
using smtpd under some circumstances, not sure if this is a bug.

The problem:
Mails generated on server 2 (some.thing.example.com) from /etc/daily
or anything else that go to root get forwarded properly to server 1,
but the From: header gets rewritten to r...@mail.domain.tld.
Normally I would expect the From: header to be
r...@some.thing.example.com. When using sendmail instead of smtpd on
server 2 as well, that is the case.
Ideas? Suggestions?
smtpd doesn't support address rewriting at the moment.
It will either use the local `hostname` or the one supplied by your MUA.
While I knew it didn't rewrite stuff, looking at it this way, it sure
can cause... interesting times.
E.g. meaning if you mail out stuff with a plain "From: $USER" header, it
will pick up the first sendmail (or non-smtpd anyway) hostname on its
way... Which may work out, or not.
