Αντικείμενο: [Exim] From Header format
Hi:
  I am running Exim 4.05 and Courier-IMAP on RedHat Linux 7.2.  I do
SMTP authentication using an LDAP directory and then rewrite the From
and Reply-To headers to be the name and mail address found in the LDAP
directory, ignoring the values the user has configured in their client,
to try to prevent spoofing.  I'd like to be able to indicate in the From
header that I have done this rewrite, by adding something like
"(Authenticated)" on the end of the line so that it would look like:
    From: Russell Wilton <wilton@???>  (Authenticated)


I tried just tacking it on during the rewrite, but my Netscape client
moves the extra text in front of the mailing address and displays it
like this:
    From: "Russell WIlton (Authenticated)" <wilton@???


I know that's probably what the RFC says it should do, but is there any
way to display extra text like this at the end of the line? I've seen
the recent discussion of how to add extra X- headers for this sort of
thing, but I'm sure most users never look at them, so I'd like to put it
right there on the end of the From line. Any ideas how to make that
happen? Thanks.

Russ
