Apologies in advance for the newbie question, but the sendmail man page was not helpful about this. I run a mailing list out of this machine called sfraves, with about 215 users. Right now the "From:" line reads "sfraves-request", so that only I will have to deal with MAILER DAEMON problems and not the original writer of whatever gets posted to the list. On most machines, the name and address of the original writer does stay in the header, so people can tell who wrote a particular post. However, some mail programs seem to strip away that second "From:" line, so that every piece of mail seems to come from "sfraves-request", and the real writer's name is unknown. So, I would like to add an "Originator:" or "Originally From:" line to every post that goes through the sfraves alias, so that those people with the messed-up mail programs can still see who the original writer is, with bounced messages still going to sfraves-request. How would I go about doing this? It would be much preferable if it were simply some option to the "|/usr/lib/sendmail -odp -oi -fsfraves-request..." line in my /usr/lib/aliases. Thank you in advance, Brian
