A while back I sent out a plea for help with regard to
having to support several users that had to use Microsoft
Mail, and the problem that the MS Mail software used the
first "From xyz line" (not the "From:, Sender:, or Reply-to:
lines) when a user tried to reply to mail sent out by majordomo
version 1.92 (or any other mail).
Thank you for all the replies of sympathy and history of dealing
with MS Mail and with Microsoft itself.
The problem specific to majordomo software is that it places the
owner-<listname> as the from address.
I have modified the resend script to use the valid_addr
of the originator. I have a somewhat limited set of user mail
systems: SMTP (sun and chameleon), MAC MS MAIL, PC MS MAIL.
It has worked successfully here for my situation, but your mileage
may vary with other mail systems. Here it is:
diff -c10 ist/resend orig/resend
***************
*** 317,339 ****
}
if ( $infile == 0 ) {
&bounce ("Non-member submission from [$from]");
}
}
if (defined($opt_A) && ! defined($approved)) {
&bounce("Approval required");
}
-
- $valid_from = &valid_addr($from);
- $sendmail_sender = $valid_from if $valid_from;
$sendmail_cmd = "/usr/lib/sendmail $opt_m -f$sendmail_sender " .
join(" ", @ARGV);
if (defined($opt_d)) {
$| = 1;
print "Command: $sendmail_cmd\n";
$status = (system("cat /tmp/resend.$$.out") >> 8);
unlink(</tmp/resend.$$.*>);
exit($status);
