^FROM_DAEMON and nobody

A while ago, I filled in a form on our local web pages. (We keep a list 
of holidays available for local access only.) The script updated my data 
base and sent a confirmation message to me.

I have Alan Stebbens' autoreply recipe installed, and it decided it 
should send back a reply.

The cgi script is owned and executed by user `nobody'. Therefore, this 
last message ended up in my sysadmin's mailbox. Annoying.

The message from the cgi-script only contained a minimum amount of 
headers (i.e., From_, From:, To: and Subject:). I assume it was generated 
by the very simple HP-UX mail or mailx commands.

IMHO, ^FROM_DAEMON should also match `nobody'.

The feel of the action is far behind.
The fruit of the action has nailed you down,
Dragged you down!
Sealing up reaction overwhelms your conscience,
Leads to more diversion, and pulls you down.
Coming to attention, going through the tension,
Praying for the sanction, you're fading out
