Hi,

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.

Interesting indeed, and unexpected.

If no solution is in near sight, i'll start waving my dirty ol' cron
workaround again... ;-)

Michael: A quick fix for the "To: " header, which I suspect suffers from
the same problem, should be to specify a fully qualified MAILTO address
in the crontab.

Well, the patch to cron would only work for regular cronjobs, but not
the daily/weekly/monthly/security scripts or anything else send to
"root". Same goes for the MAILTO, which is ignored in those scripts as well.

Bah, yes indeed, since those scripts does all the mailing themselves.

Is there any ETA when smtpd will properly handle rewriting the address?

Thanks,
Michael
