For the first time (I think), I'm putting some "mail" commands into an
exim filter file (personal, not system). Until now, I've always used
"deliver". Whenever I do "mail", the envelope sender is empty. This
matters because the place I'm trying to "mail" to discards them (I
reckon because it assumes they are bounce notifications).
Have I overlooked something? I've been thumbing through the Exim book
and the filter spec for a while. I think the envelope sender address is
empty because that's what the autoreply transport does. Is there any
way around that? Or, do others handle this a different way?
BTW, the reason I want to use "mail" instead of "deliver" is because I
want to send only the beginning of the message body.
