Greetings,
We're getting a report of a bogus Delivered-To header from one of our customers. Apparently, Exchange relies on this in some way.


You can see it here.. The real domain is linear-systems.com, but the delivered-to header doesn't complete the domain in the first part of the line and it ends up being systems.com. Has anyone seen this before, and know of a fix?

This is a bug in vdelivermail.c, in the section of code after the following comment:


        /* use the DTLINE variable, but skip past the dash in
         * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         */

Basically, it assumes the first dash separates the domain name from the email address. The solution might be to find the '@' in DTLINE, determine the length of the domain name (@ to trailing NULL) and skip that many bytes from the beginning of the address.

Maybe it's better to use other environment variables (USER, HOST, LOCAL, RECIPIENT?) to build the delivered-to header.
