Thanks! You have just confirmed what I have done yesterday - it was more
an accident, than professional engineering!
First I tried -oMai but without -f it does not work at all. Next I tried
-f - not with my original problem in mind, but to give the message a
real envelope-from. Later I added -oMai - this was the accident I
mentioned above :-) ... and bingo!
May I asume that -oMai requires -f to work properly?
Yesterday, I was too tired to run a local injection outside of my perl
script.
Thats how my perl script injects the message now:
open MAIL, "| /usr/sbin/exim4 -bm -oMai ai -t -oi -f '<x\@dom>'";
$mail->print( \*MAIL );
close MAIL;
Runs prefectly!
Thanks to all and warm greetings from (cold) Franconia,
Peter
