Palm Pilot SendMail wrong From: address?



Hi All,
     The way the sendmail conduit works as it stands is that it sends the email 
as username@machinename instead of john.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  If you would 
like to spoof it you need to change the sendmail pipline as follows:
     
 
| /usr/bin/fold -s -w 72 | /usr/lib/sendmail -t
     
     to:
     
| /usr/bin/fold -s -w 72 | /usr/lib/sendmail -t -f john.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The person that you email to will get the following in the email header:
X-Authentication-Warning: bigmachine.Cool.Summer.COM: jsmith set sender to 
john.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx using -f

but at least when they reply it will go to the correct email address.

Just an FYI for everyone
