Re: Mail sends to all addresses except one



I am running Debian GNU/Linux on an i386 system.  I had difficulty
with mail delivery to one address because Exim4 was using the username
rather than the mailaccountname in mail addresses.  The "Return-Path:"
and "envelope-from:" headers read "rlh@xxxxx"  rather than
"rlharris@xxxxx".  
-
However, the "From:" header (which is set by Mutt) read correctly
"rlharris@xxxxx".

The solution was to add a one-line entry to the file
"/etc/email-addresses":

    rlh: rlharris@xxxxx

In other words:

    username:  mailaccountname@isp

RLH
