Hello, I have a problem with my Excelan 3.5 mailer: Whenever I send
something to another host, the From: header is no good. Suppose f.x.
I am logged in as root on host "fek" and mail something
My mailer then produces the header:
From: root
When it should be:
From: root@fek
The result is that the first host to se the From: header appends its own
name, like this:
From root@<some_other_host>
And then the message is actually presented to the recipient as coming
from root on that other host, which is clearly wrong.
I have read the manual countless times, and tried lots of things:
setting OMIT_SELF to TRUE
setting TRY_OMISSION to FALSE
and so on, but nothing seems to do the trick.
If you are able to say "Aha, the poor guy just needs to ...", please respond.
