I had a mail creation script that out From: in the header.
It worked very well with sendmail on other machines.
I had to use the -f option on some machines because thbey did NOT read mail.
So using -f I forced replies to a machine where I could read them.
Again, I already had this thing.
So now comes cygwin and exim.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most stuff I had ported with almost no change.
But I saw this anomoly and was surprised as exim dropped in so easily
Is that clear enough?
I have programmed around it already.
Just thought some one else might know something or want to know this.
Make it a GREAT DAY!
