Hi. I'm Joe Garbarino with ERIM in Ann Arbor, Mi. I was charged with setting up our sendmail daemon configuration files. Most of our systems work fine except the one I'm sending this message from. It does not put the correct return-path address in the header, always putting just the username of the sender of the message without including a machine name. The header section in our sendmail.cf file looks like: ### Format of headers H?P?Return-Path: <$g> HReceived: $?sfrom $s $.by $j$?T via $T$.; $b H?D?Resent-Date: $a H?D?Date: $a H?F?Resent-From: $q H?F?From: $q H?x?Full-Name: $x HSubject: #H?M?Resent-Message-Id: <$t.$i@$j> #H?M?Message-Id: <$t.$i@$j> I have a few questions concerning this. 1) Is most of the header formed at the source computer or the destination, specifically the return path field? 2) If at the source, shouldn't the $g macro provide the correct information for that field? (other machines here that work have the same definition for the return-path field) 3) If at the destination, how does the destination machine create the return-path? Is my machine not providing enough information? I RTFM but couldn't pick this information out. Thanks for any help you can provide. Joe Garbarino ERIM P.O.
