I'm on many lists, and the two user-mode-linux lists are the only ones
that give me problems.
I have a multidrop setup, and my ISP uses sendmail on Red Hat Linux 7.x.
Undeliverable (by fetchmail) mail goes to summer+lostmail when then
gets sorted into my lostmail box through my procmail filters.
Because of the problems I've had, I have created these sendmail aliases:
user-mode-linux-user: uml
user-mode-linux-devel: uml
Here are the relevant bits of my fetcmailrc:
set daemon 300
set syslog
set postmaster summer+lostmail(_at_)dugite
set no bouncemail
<snip>
poll mail.ami.com.au aka ami.com.au proto POP3
user summer pass burper smtpaddress mail.os2.ami.com.au is
summer(_at_)mail * here fetchlimit 400 fetchall expunge 40
<that's two lines>
Here are the Received: headers from one of the many sources of email
that works:

As you can see, the headers correctly identify the intended recipient.
From this, I have concluded my IAP's sendmail is configured correctly -
that is, he's not tried to hide addressing information.
In October 2001 I got this from one of the UML lists:

As you can see, the Received: header inserted by netsrvr.ami.com.au
identifies the subscription address correctly.
However, in August I got this:

which does not have the 'for" clause in netsrvr's header. However, it
has worked with the UML account I created here:

I guess the first question that needs answering is this;
How can an MTA send mail to sendmail in such a way it doesn't record
who it comes from? I reiterate, it only happens with the
user-mode-linux lists. Everything else is fine.
