[comp.mail.sendmail] the $h macro

bs@laura.UUCP (Bernard Steiner) (01/10/89)

Hi, kids

I seem to have some trouble with the $h macro (host to send to).
 
I suppose it gets set in ruleset 0 by $@ .
That's exactly the problem: $#local$@localhost$:$1 does not seem to work,
i.e. you cannot set any host with local delivery mailers.

Now, this ought to leave $h unset; instead, it's set to one <SPACE>.
So, something like "$?h for $h$| for local_delivery$." won't work in the
Received: lines for local mailers; instead it leaves you with " for  ".

Is this a bug, or have I done anything wrong ?!

If it's defective code: If anyone has patched it, please give me a hint on
what to do.

Thanks.

Bernard
