How to fix? Message-ID: <116@lionet.wesley.oz.au> Date: 7 Feb 91 05:48:18 GMT Followup-To: poster Organization: Wesley College, Melbourne, Australia. Lines: 41 When mail comes of the net (ACSnet) to us and is processed by sendmail, the To: line is ignored and an Apparently-To: line is produced. This causes some nasy mail to be produced like so: From bevan%ecr.mu.oz@munnari.cs.mu Tue Feb 5 16:15:26 1991 Return-Path: Date: Tue, 5 Feb 91 15:23:26 EDT From: bevan%ecr.mu.oz@munnari.cs.mu Received-Date: Tue, 5 Feb 91 16:14:58 EDT Apparently-To: jajc >From bevan%ecr.mu.oz@munnari.oz Tue Feb 5 15:21:27 1991 Received: from julimar8.ecr.mu.OZ.AU by munnari.oz.au with SMTP (5.64+1.3.1+0.50) id AA01129; Tue, 5 Feb 1991 15:21:27 +1100 (from bevan@ecr.mu.oz.au) Received: by ecr.mu.oz.au (4.1) id AA00303; Tue, 5 Feb 91 15:21:13 EST Date: Tue, 5 Feb 91 15:21:13 EST From: bevan@ecr.mu.oz.au (Bevan the Aviator.)

This is confusing and, frankly, a pain in the back. If anyone has any ideas on how to tackle this, I'd be pleased to hear them! regards, Richard Muirden ============================================================================== Richard Muirden, |Humble Computer Science Student & System Administrator, |Star Trek Fan!
