At 17:30 2001-02-07 -0800, METAgency did say:
Some auto responses generate an error message saying:
"<email(_at_)machine(_dot_)myserver(_dot_)com>...Sender domain must exist". I suspect
that this is the sendmail "-t" switch not putting the correct email
"From:" address from the auto response.
-t has nothing to do with your FROM address. 'man sendmail' should make
this pretty clear. You should use -ffromaddr to set that.
I have tried using a pipe to
"sendmail -f email(_at_)host(_dot_)com" but it doesn't work. Anyone have an idea or
something that will work?
Have you tried using the proper syntax? That means omission of the space
between -f and the address.
Note also that if the user which is sending the message isn't listed in the
sendmail trusted users list, a warning header will be added to the sent
message (again, see the sendmail manpage).
Also, the From: header is not rewritten by using the -f option - only the
envelope sender. If you want the From: field to reflect the changed
address, you should emit that into the message -- in your case, by adding:
-I"From: $myaddress"
or whatever, to your formail invocation.
