Hey there. I had one of my mail servers die over the weekend so I had to
build a new one. It's running exim 4.69. Normally when I install exim
I'm doing an upgrade and I just use the same conf file. This time I just
used the one from the fresh install and modified it. Now I find I'm
having an interesting problem with SMTP Auth. When ever someone sends
mail using SMTP Auth it changes the headers and it causes problems. For
example, I had to stop using SMTP Auth because this mailing list was
rejecting the email due to the headers being messed up. Here's an
example of the headers, emails and servers have been change to protect
the innocent :)

As you can see it's appending the mail server name to the FROM email address. I just can't figure out how to stop it from doing that.
Any thoughts? It's a bit annoying. When I add myself to my allowed relay list and don't use SMTP Auth my evelope-from is just "lists@???".
Thanks!
