I am having problems with headers in mail. All mail that comes to my system from other systems have an extra header added to them. Here is an example: ------------------------------------------------- From uucp Sat Jul 22 22:12 EDT 1989 Date: Sat, 22 Jul 89 22:12:09 EDT From: root (System Administrator) Message-Id: <8907230212.AA26619@fantasci.UUCP> Apparently-To: jep Status: RO >From njsmu!princeton!unmvax.cs.unm.edu!news Sat Jul 22 18:13:16 1989 remote from telesci Received: from njsmu.UUCP by telesci.uucp (4.0/smail2.5/02-10-88) id AA01994; Sat, 22 Jul 89 18:13:15 EDT Received: by unmvax.cs.unm.edu (5.61/3.1) id ; Sat, 22 Jul 89 15:40:43 -0600 Date: Sat, 22 Jul 89 15:40:43 -0600 From: princeton!unmvax.cs.unm.edu!news (The News service) Message-Id: <8907222140.AA29833@unmvax.cs.unm.edu> To: njsmu!telesci!fantasci!jep Subject: Automatic Test Echo ------------------------------------------------- As you can see, it is adding the top 6 lines after it arrives on the system. I asked this question many months ago and it was suggested by one person that sendmail is not recognizing the original header of the message as a header so it is creating a new one. In any case, I am not at all familiar with sendmail configurations so I do not know how to fix it. All I know is when I enter mail for reading, it looks like all my mail is from root except for mail sent to me by other users on this same system. This really makes mail reading a pain in the neck. Please, if you know how I can fix this, send me mail. By the way, I am running Interactive (1.0.5) UNIX V.3 on an 80386 with 2 meg of main memory, an 85 meg hd, with the following mail software: sendmail version 5.51 smail version 2.2 Thanks in advance. -Jo -- Joseph E Poplawski (Jo) Home: 1621 Jackson Street Cinnaminson NJ 08077 Phone: +1 609 786-8099 UUCP: ...{rutgers!rochester!moscom,princeton,pyrnj}!telesci!fantasci!jep
