Short of patching the sourcecode, does anyone know how to turn off the
warning message that sendmail generates when nmh submits a message?
Specifically:
X-Authentication-Warning: elisabeth.cfrq.net: chk owned process
doing -bs
Now that SpamAssassin picks this up as one of its checks, the message
is a liability. In my particular case, it doesn't add anything useful,
since I own root on elisabeth.cfrq.net :-)
Have nmh deliver by SMTP to localhost instead of invoking sendmail?
In general I recommend against invoking sendmail for mail delivery
rather than using SMTP.
The error mode cases are better handled (ie more compleat) for SMTP
delivery than they are for sendmail, making nmh more robust there.
Further, when nmh is configured to use sendmail instead of SMTP nmh's
whom tool calls sendmail as follows:
.../sendmail/ -m -t -i -bv
which creates problems with non-Sendmail MTAs:
Postfix does not support "-bv" and returns in error
Exim does not support "-t" with "-bv" and returns in error
I haven't checked QMail as I won't use it,
"whom" is far too useful as a component tool in MH to lose.
