I'm sure this is in a FAQ somewhere but I couldn't find it.

I've been using procmail to forward messages that match certain criteria to my
cell phone.  The only issue I have is that the From: address that is displayed
on the phone is always *my* address.  I'm trying to find a way to show the
*real* sender.

After playing around with formail and the sendamil -f option a little I found
that the cell phone/network uses the Return-Path: field to display who the
message is from.  (Changing the From: header with formail made no difference 
in
the From: displayed on the phone)

So I'm thinking I need something like this:

   :0
   * ()/\^From: +\/.*
   {
      FROM = $MATCH
   }


        The *real* sender is:

FROM=`formail -rtx To:`

        I think that you can chaneg the sender by:

| formail -I"From: $FROM"

        instead of the havy sendmail

   :0 c
   * ^Subject.*Help!!!
     | /usr/bin/sendmail -t -f$FROM

This does not work however.  I'm assuming that the format of FROM is not
correct for the -f flag as it includes the name etc(?).

Any thoughts?  BTW, I'm running on FC5 and procmail 3.22.
