Hi,
i'm using mutt and exim and have some problems with multiple mail
addresses as well as the headers which exim adds to outgoing mails:
If the mail is delivered by exim to another mailserver, the
header contains a "Return-Path: " with an entry which is similar to
the mail address i've specified in /etc/email-addresses.
I don't know, whether exim creates the "Return-Path: " or just an
"envelope-From: " which the last mailserver then transforms into
the "Return-Path :". Anyway, in both cases the header finally
contains two different mail addresses if the "From: " is not
identical to the entry in /etc/email-addresses.
I want to change it but i don't know exactly how to perform this.
I've tried to set the return_path_add and the envelope_to_add in my
/etc/exim.conf to false and i also tried to comment them completly
out, but it doesn't work. I've also manipulated the headers_remove
and add_headers options but without any success.
I know there is an untrusted_set_sender and no_local_from_check
option in v3.20, which should result in the desired effect, but
i'm still using v3.12-10 and don't want to upgrade it. (I'm using
Debian potato (stable) while v3.20 is only available in the unstable
Version. I think i would get some trouble with stable and v3.20.)
In short: i would like exim to leave the headers untouched so i can
set them with mutt individually. Another alternative would be if
exim sets the "Return-Path:"/"envelope-From:" identical to
"From:".
I would be pleased if you could give me a hint where i could find
something about the right exim.conf option or a Docu which describes
a solution for my problem.
Regards,
Janto
I've attached my exim.conf for details:
