Subject: -f flag to resend & wrapper
From: Jonathan Hahn <hahn @ and . com>

Config:		Freebsd 1.1.5.1 on a 486
		Majordomo 1.92

The '-f' flag to sendmail, re-writes the envelope with a new return
address.  I can run this as me just fine.  resend passes the '-f'
flag to sendmail and if I run resend without wrapper, it does the
right thing (substitutes return address).  But when run through wrapper,
sendmail doesn't rewrite both return address fields, just one (the
"From:", not the "From").

This is very likely due to the setuid() performed by wrapper, but
I'm not certain.  I don't understand exactly why it works when
I run "sendmail -f" as me, because I'm not a trused user in the
sendmail.cf file.  Any ideas?

thanks,
