Subject: [EXIM] Filter file sending mail
I have a virtual domain with a virtual passwd file user called faxuser
in it. The user has a .forward file in it that acts as a security filter
to ensure that all




user acts as a filter to ensure only validated users can
sent mail through the service. Once validated by the filter it calls

mail to (outfaxnumber)@jfaxsend.com subject "Fax from Monza" 
     text "Message from $sender_address forwarded by Monza Web Hosting" 
     return message


This all works except that the message gets sent as nobody
