My version of Mutt is mutt-1.5.6i-64.6
I only have one sendmail on my machine: /usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail is a symbolic link to this file.
Yes, I have set " set envelope_from=yes" in the /etc/Muttrc, and this
seems to work ok. The only difference I can see is that my Unix server
sends:
From: dirkm@xxxxxxxxxx
Where my Linux server sends:
From: root[dirkm@xxxxxxxxxx]
I don't know if this will cause e-mails to be rejected at the recipient.
In short, I am using trial & error to fix this. I do not know what is
causing the e-mails to this one address to be rejected. All other
addresses (also internal to our company) work fine. None of these
e-mails go out through our relay server, but are sent internally, using
our exchange server only.
Any ideas - how (and where) can I find the reason for mail being
rejected to this one specific address ? I read a little about MUA's,
MTA's and MSA's, but still have to understand how this all fits together
properly.
The command I use to send mail (from a script), is:
echo "" | mutt -x -a "+ACQ-MAILMX_ATTACHMENT" -s "+ACQ-MAILMX_SUBJECT"
"+ACQ-MAILMX_TO"
The variables are supplied to the script and are self explanatory.
I also set +ACQ-REPLYTO in the muttrc file:
>>> set envelope_from=yes
>>> set hdrs=yes
>>> my_hdr From: +ACQ-REPLYTO
