I sent another test message with From:<> to the list, this time submitting
it via an MTA other than sendmail. I sent a separate copy to myself.
It's been a couple of hours, and I haven't seen it on the list yet.
Nor me. And none of the messages that I sent with From: <> (or <-(_at_)[]>) has
appeared either. So something somewhere is eating them.
I find this surprising, but also worrying. I suspect mail.proper.com
(where the list is expanded).
So I shall try another couple of tests, this time directly to port 25 at
mail.imc.org (that is where the MX record points, though it seems to
forward it to mail.proper.com without adding adding a Received of its
own). I shall use postmaster(_at_)clerew(_dot_)man(_dot_)ac(_dot_)uk as the
envelope sender, just
to show up clearly if someone creates a From out of it.
One will have no From
The other will have From: <>
