Hi! I am having trouble with sender/recipient rewrites in outgoing mail. Specifically, I am unable to change the default sender and recipient. I am using latest HyperNews/cgiwrap and have a test forum working as expected. HyperNews runs as "hypnews" user via cgiwrap. Outgoing mail appears in my maillog like: sendmail.. from=Owner-hypnews@.. sendmail.. to=hypnews@.. sendmail.. to=richard@glen-echo.md.us In hnrc I have: $hnEmail = 1; $mail_admin = 'townnews@glen-echo.md.us'; $sendmail = '/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem'; $mail_to = 'TownNews@glen-echo.md.us'; $mail_from = 'Owner-TownNews@glen-echo.md.us'; $mail_sender = 'Owner-TownNews@glen-echo.md.us'; $allowEmailIn = 1; I have adjusted sendmail.cf with "Thypnews". I have created an Admin user for "townnews@glen-echo.md.us". In etc/aliases I have (I exec'd newaliases after mod): Owner-TownNews: richard TownNews: "| /opt/HyperNews/.scripts/mail-incoming.pl" Received mail from the list in an Outlook 2K client has: From: richard@glen-echo.md.us to: hypnews@glen-echo.md.us A sample header looks like: Return-Path: <Owner-hypnews@glen-echo.md.us> Received: (from hypnews@localhost) by mail.glen-echo.md.us (8.9.3/8.9.3) id XAA17302; Sun, 23 Jul 2000 23:19:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 23 Jul 2000 23:19:38 -0400 To: hypnews@glen-echo.md.us From: "Richard Grant" <richard@glen-echo.md.us> Errors-To: Owner-TownNews@glen-echo.md.us Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-HN-Forum: test forum Subject: test 2 of email mods Message-ID: <"/test/5"@www.glen-echo.md.us> X-Mailer: HyperNews at www.glen-echo.md.us 1.10 X-Hn-Loop: http://www.glen-echo.md.us/cgi- bin/cgiwrap/hypnews/HyperNews/get.cgi/test/5.html Precedence: list Errors-To: Owner-TownNews@glen-echo.md.us Newsgroups: http://www.glen-echo.md.us/cgi- bin/cgiwrap/hypnews/HyperNews/get.cgi/test.html What do I need to do to get the system to respect the specifications in hnrc? In my maillog, I was expecting to see: sendmail.. from=Owner-TownNews@.. sendmail.. to=TownNews@.. sendmail.. to=richard@glen-echo.md.us And in my mail message I expected: From: richard@glen-echo.md.us to: TownNews@glen-echo.md.us I am posting here because it seems possible the problem could be caused by running as the hypnews user via cgiwrap. It could also have something to do with sendmail and outgoing mail from an alias. Any advice greatly appreciated. R
