----- I seem to have made a mistake, or have a misunderstanding about how the visible_name attribute works in Smail 3.19. In my $LIB_DIR/config file I have the lines: visible_domains = com visible_name = sware.com And my smail was compiled with DOMAINS=sware.com in EDITME. Now, I was under the impression that this would cause mail headers to be munged so that it looked like mail going out from our site came from $user@sware.com. However, what I've got is mail in the form $user@$users_machine.sware.com. Any clues? Failing that, is there a way that I can force Smail to insert a `Reply-To:' header of the form that I want, if the user hasn't supplied one (or is this a blaspheme against the mail-header-gods?)? Many thanks... -- ken seefried iii "Specialization is for insects." ken@dali.cc.gatech.edu - Robert A. Heinlein (1916-1988)
