Hi,
I realize that all docs/man pages suggest that the sender command line
argument/macro as described in pipe(8) does not resolve to multiple
addresses (as opposed to ${recipient}, for example).
However, it isn't noted that it actually can never be multiple addresses, so
I'd just like confirmation that in fact, the ${sender} command line argument
could only ever be a single email address (for obvious reasons of parsing,
argument processing, etc.).
${sender} is always a single address.
One other quick note (somewhat unrelated):
http://www.postfix.org/pipe.8.html
${original_recipient} is present and differentiated from
${recipient}...
The latest version of postfix on CentOS (as determined by yum upgrade):
# postconf mail_version
mail_version = 2.3.3
... has apparently no notion of ${original_recipient}. Just curious as if
this is actually deprecated, or if CentOS' version is lagging.
The current postfix is 2.6.5, and includes many new features;
the online documentation always refers to the newest version.
Postfix 2.3.3 is several years old.
If you're stuck on 2.3 for some reason, you should at least
use 2.3.19, which includes numerous bug fixes, but no new
features. Complain to your vendor.
