mjr@osiris.UUCP (Marcus Ranum) (07/09/87)
2 things: 1) I've been doing some hacking on on our local sendmail.cf file, and consequently I don't know if this is my fault or not: I sent myself mail from one of our systems (across one IPC link and one UUCP link) and by the time it got to me, it was from 'getty@host.UUCP' I have no idea who getty is - and can't help but wonder if somehow this is Mr. Etc Getty, of binary fame. Anyone seen anything like this happening before ? 2) Our return addresses always get munged into something resembling Spam. While a user who knows his uucp addressing has no problem generating a return address if needed, the 'reply' function in ucbmail is totally confused. Is this a sendmail problem ? I noticed that the sendmail doc says something to the effect that the 'From' address undergoes the same transformations as the 'To' address. Is this what's happening ? Pointers to a fix would be appreciated. --mjr(); -- If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I get as crude as possible.
