I'm having a problem with the $f expansion when using the recently released
sendmail 5.65/IDA-1.4.2 from UIUC/NIU. (my box is an Apollo, sr10.2)
The problem:
I have a mailer defined as follows
Mmhsnet, P=/usr/local/bin/netfile, F=hmsuSDFM, A=netfile -Amailer -Q$u -S$f -
The "netfile" mailer appends my fully qualified domain name merlin.bhpmrl.oz.au
onto the argument in the -S flag. Unfortunately, I have no control over this.
I *want* $f to be the sender from address, ie. so the address would then be
written as ianh@merlin.bhpmrl.oz.au, but it looks like $f expands to
a fully qualified form since the addresses start looking like
ianh@merlin.bhpmrl.oz.au@merlin.bhpmrl.oz.au
Where could this be happening?? I've stared at the code a bit and tried to
track down where the expansion occurs but ended up getting a bit lost ....
BTW I think this release of sendmail is bloody terrific :-)
