Dave,

Problem fixed by Marc Langer mail:

trusted_users = apache

Now mail sent from Squirrel Mail looks like it came from the right place.

At present I only use the box to host a website, fetchmail and deliver
locally and allow me access securely to my mail accounts anywhere.

Sending from the command line gives me bk@??? which is the domain
name so I need to fix this too so if you have a quick answer to this query
that would be great.

In the meantime I will carry on reading the manual and archives.

Thanks,

Barry.

I assume this is all relevant to when you _send_ mail from webmail.

And youve sort of answered your own question. In one of the mail
displayed in Outlook 2000, do a 'view messages source', and you will see
that no header contains that 'on behalf of' crap - OE2000 is making it
up.. Its possible that it is seeing perhaps a "Sender:" header that
differens from a "From:" header, and that is what is causing it..
