Hi,
I'm using the exim package in Debian woody, version 3.35-1. exim is setup
as a satelite system, and I have added sphere:john@??? in
/etc/email-addresses, but the address that is actually used in From: is
sphere@<host>, where host is the extension entered when asked for the
host where mail is normally read.
For now I have added a Reply-To: in my client, but I would prefer it if
the From: field woul actually read what I punched in into
/etc/email-addesses.
Maybe the parsing in the rewriting section of exim.conf is flakey, or I
completely misunderstood the purpose of /etc/email-addresses.
Thank you for reading.
