Hi!
There seems to be a problem with sendmail V8.8.5 and procmail (v3.10 and
v3.11) on AIX (V3.2).
Whenever a user has the line : "|/home/user/procmail" in his/her
.forward file the first line of the Mail, the Unix From line, gets
messed up.
There should be something like:
"From user(_at_)uni-giessen(_dot_)de Mon May 12 08:45:13 1997"
but the local mailer writes the following
"From hermes.hrz.uni-giessen.de [134.176.2.15] Mon May 12 08:45:13
1997"
(hermes is our local "smart" mail-host.) Always "hermes", never
something else.
Additionally, the "Return-Path:" vanishes.
With the original sendmail from IBM (Version AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64)
everything works fine.
Strange thing about it: Everything works fine with the elm-"filter"
program. So, sendmail seems to hate procmail, but why?
I suspect the problem is the local mailer.
We use the following configuration in the sendmail.cf:
Mlocal, P=/bin/bellmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qmn9, S=10/30, R=20/40,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=mail -F $g $u
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I didn't find anything in
the sendmail manual or the procmail manual.
Any help is appreciated,
