How do I set Return-Path: in my sendmail.cf? Our sendmail makes the return path peter@atlas.abccomp, which is not sufficient for replying from outside our local site. I have tried changing the entry in sendmail.cf (appending .oz.au), but the message header is not affected. I have also been unable to change the From line, although I can change the From: line. Any help would be much appreciated, as I think a lot of our mail is bouncing, unless people address according to my signature, which is a nuisance for them. -- Peter Barker | Internet peter@atlas.abccomp.oz.au TurboSoft Pty Ltd | JANET peter%atlas.abccomp.oz.au@uk.ac.ukc 248 Johnston St, Annandale | UUCP uunet!munnari!atlas.abccomp.oz!peter NSW 2038 Australia | Telephone +(612) 552 1266

I have tried changing the entry in sendmail.cf It is probably better to not use 'Return-Path:' in any mailer (usually selected with the 'P' mailer flag) except the local and prog mailers. >(appending .oz.au), but the message header is not affected. I have also >been unable to change the From line, although I can change the From: line. Problems with both the envelope sender ('From ' line) and return path are related to the value of $g. The actual processing is this: Start with the sender. In our case, 'peter'. This is first processed by ruleset 3. Next by ruleset 1. Next by the ruleset defined in the 'S=' operand of the mailer definition. Finally by ruleset 4. The resulting value is assigned to $g. Do some experimenting with test mode (sendmail -bt) until you get it right. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
