Hello,
In the minutes is mentioned "Sendmail implementation". Is there any?
Below is the extract from the minutes that talks about the notify
from: issue.
I do not see a reason to have different logic when sending a
notification to the recipient, and when sending an out-of-office
message to the sender. Namely:
- if from: is applied, use its value
- if a mail is send (envelopely) to the address mm(_at_)example(_dot_)com, use
this as notify from:
- mailbox name and message headers do not count
- if a mail is sent (in the same envelope) to the same maibox (and
therefore user), mentioning more than one of her/his addresses in the
envelope, then which of them to use in the notify? e.g.
Mail from: peter
Rcpt to: postmaster(_at_)example(_dot_)com
Rcpt to: webmaster(_at_)example(_dot_)com
and postmaster and webmaster are the same mailbox.
Well, I don't know if in this case one or two notifications shall be send.
And I don't want if in similar case an autoresponder shall answer,
if he has to send one or two vacation messages.
Със здраве,
Дилян
3. Message origin: does the notification message come from the original
"RCPT TO", or from the notification system?
Alexey pointed out a suggestion to make it an option.
Pete asked what the From is for and whether we were going to reply to
these messages.
Philip: if the notification system can autoprocess bounces, then it
belongs in the envelope MAIL FROM
Maybe always is better, to block the loop possibility.
Dave Cridland: not clear why worry about "from" for notifications: are
they to send msgs *to* a user, not necessarily be *from* anyone in
particular.
Philip/Pete: The important 'from' here is the envelope from. IMHO, the
env-from should *never* be the original.
No clear consensus on this issue in the room.
