Hello,
the following question seems to be of interest for a lot of people, as I
found many similar questions in the net - but until now I couldn't find a
solution to the problem.
I want to change the senders identity completely - when user root sends an
email, addresses are rewritten - ok - but if you take a nearer look at the
mail, you'll find out very fast who's the real sender of the mail.
Here is an example:
Content of file /etc/email-addresses:
root: john.doe@???
When typing :
echo "mycontent" | mail -s "mysubject" john@???
at the prompt as user root local user 'john' receives the following mail:
Return-path: <john.doe@???>
Envelope-to: john@???
Delivery-date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:31:52 +0100
Received: from root by mydomain.de with local (Exim 4.63)
(envelope-from <john.doe@???>)
id 1Gjbuh-0002Xu-Gc
for john@???; Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:31:51 +0100
To: john@???
Subject: mysubject
Message-Id: <E1Gjbuh-0002Xu-Gc@???>
From: root <john.doe@???>
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:31:51 +0100
mycontent
In the exim.conf file I put the following rewriting-rule:
*@+local_domains "${lookup{${local_part}}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail}" Eh
MY QUESTIONS:
What can I do if I absolutely don't want to see the 'root' in the 'Received:
from ...' and 'From: ...' lines?
Or even more important - is the solution of this problem within the range of
possibilties of exim?
(System is Debian Sarge, Exim4)
