Subject: [Exim] Sender: headers and Exim?
Hello list, I need to know the cases when Exim will attach a 'sender:'
header to a message. The problem I am having is that the Sender header
is completely incorrect for my setup and needs to be changed or
even better, gotten
rid of all together. Here is what's happening. I send a message using
my mail UA (mutt) and the mail goes out with a Sender line something
like the following:
Sender: "Doug Lawlor,,," <dlawlor@???>

'smtp-stjh-01-01.rogers.nf.net' happens to be just one of 4 machines at
my ISP which spool up mail for delivery.
I have not tested this but I suspect the sender line will consist of
any host Exim connects to at the time to get the message off. I do not
have a smart host defined. I have included two example messages below.

Any help on getting this fixed would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Doug
