Quoth tcurdt@??? on Thu, Oct 28, 1999:

Weird.  In your outgoing mail, you have the header:
    X-BadReturnPath: root@??? rewritten as tcurdt@???
      using "From" header


It seems to me that somewhere along the line someone paid
attention that the domain wg.de doesn't exist and rewritten the
envelope sender address with "From:" header. But I don't know
who it was or why. Philip, help!

BTW, I wouldn't name the domain wg.de if I were you -- you're
never sure when such domain appears. Better use something like
"wg.local".

Hans Matzen proposed a good solution. Please read his message
from 27 October entitled "Re: [Exim] add/remove header" (Message-Id
<99102711035201.00357@HOST1> (Hans, you are a very very bad man,
fix your Message IDs)) and my reply (Message-Id
<19991027142658.E11119@???>).

In my opinion, it'd be nice to rewrite envelope recipient exactly
as Hans said, but to rewrite all headers with envelope sender
(i.e., use "Fh" instead of "F" in his first rewriting rule).

If we arrive to a good solution, it would surely be worth to put
in the FAQ. I never needed such setup -- my home machines don't
deliver mail locally, although they do some sort of funky
rewriting there. Although there are funkier configs.
