The auto-responder sent a reply back to:
"cris(_at_)nesbittburns(_dot_)ca" (which is in the "From " and "Sender:"
lines) vs
"rtsys(_at_)nesbittburns(_dot_)ca" (which is in the "From:" line).
The user in question says that according to RFC822 (4.4.4.
Automatic Use of From / Sender / Reply-to) this is not the proper
behavior.
He is right. formail violates RFC822 and this is IMHO a very strong
problem which was unfortunately never fixed.
I grabbed the auto-responder email address using:
FROM=`formail -rtzxTo:`
This is strange. The '-t' flag instructs formail to use the proper
precedence when replying. formail should always be used with this flag.
May be this is a bug with the Unix From line. What version of prrocmail?
