is rumored to have said:
Ok I am popping email from an external server (aol etc)
Using an unnamed tool with unspecified config...
i get the proper email from address in the header's and resend all
works ok if i am popping local email
ie t...@scom.ca --> p...@scom.ca postfix lets it go as is
when i get an external email with x...@aol.com (for example)
postfix replaces the from address in the header with
scom...@mail18.scom.ca
Are you sure it is Postfix? Why?
Show the relevant config and log lines, as is urged in the
documentarioin when asking questiuons here. No one here is telepathic or
clairvoyant.
I understand why but it messes up the customer when replying ???
If you really understood why, you'd fix it yourself.
Simply put how do i preserve the headers when popping from a foreign
server
Fix your Postfix config, probably.
Unfortunately, NO ONE here knows how to help you because you didn't
share your config.
if there is a way to do this locally great as i would rather leave the
security feature in tact
What "security feature" would that be? One that rewrites your mail
incorrectly? Seems like a bug to me...
i am running this through a python email program and sending via the
sendmail library
i am running multiple servers so i can program an inside one to bypass
this if nessesary
otherwise how do i just turn off the 'from' address getting mangled?
Remove or repair whatever Postfix config YOU have which is doing that.
There are multiple possibilities.
We can only guess which rewriting mechanism you have configured your
server to use to rewrite From headers in your email with your domain.
