Hello,
we are currently using sendmail, procmail, uwimap and qpopper. We are planing to replace uwimap and qpopper with dovecot. Which seems to be a very good idea :-) But: Sendmail and Procmail will not be replaced.
Now I've realized that deliver rewrites existing "From <....> ..." header lines to ">From <...> ..." and adds it's own "From "-line.
Example:
My procmailrc end with :0 | deliver -d beckerr
Mails are deliver to my INBOX, but
- From beckerr@fh-trier.de Sun Jan 07 17:37:43 2007
- Received: ...
- From: ...
is rewritten to
- From MAILER-DAEMON Sun Jan 07 17:37:44 2007
From beckerr@fh-trier.de Sun Jan 07 17:37:43 2007
- Received: ...
- From: ...
Is there a (simple) way to prevent deliver from doing so?
OR
In case "-f <envelop sender>" is not given, could deliver
- read the envelop sender address from the "From <...>" line,
- remove the line and
- add it's own using the formally extracted sender address?
This sounds best for me and would cover the problem most effective...
BTW:
I've found the "dovecot deliver patch for procmail" and it looks really good (http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2006-July/014656.html), but it seems to me, that the "From " line problem is solved by optionally removing the whole line, so deliver would use it's own default "From MAILER-DAEMON "-line ... and this in fact the problem
Regards, Ralf
