Hello,
we are currently resubmitting mails into Exim that are scanned by
SpamAssassin via batched SMTP. The usual setup if you don't scan at
SMTP time.
I now encountered a strange behaviour that I consider a bug:
If the message does not contain a From: header, Exim adds one as the
message is per definition locally generated. But the From: header
holds the original envelope sender and the name of the user (from
/etc/passwd) that reinjected the mail.
This is of course not desired as they are totally unrelated.
OK, I could work around the problem with some appropiate ACLs, but I
was wondering, if there is a more elegant way to do this. Maybe this
behaviour should be fixed or there should be some additional command
line option to control the way the From: header is constructed.
