[9fans] A question on remotemail

Dear List,

I have been fiddling with the mail setup on my CPU server.

This machine has to deliver all mail to my ISPs smtp so I set the
rewrite script to rewrite.gateway. The ISPs smtp rejected my mail
though because it expected a From: line different to my $user@$site
or the default $fd set in remotemail. I added a 

'From: "ckeen" <Christian.Kellermann@nefkom.net>' 

line to /mail/box/ckeen/headers but this does not seem to have any
effect. I thus added a names.remote file with

'ckeen Christian.Kellermann@nefkom.net' 

and changed remotemail with this diff:

14c15,19
< exec /bin/upas/smtp -h $fd $addr $sender $*
---
> 
> remotename=`{/bin/upas/aliasmail $sender}
> if ( test -n $remotename ) { sender = $remotename }
> 
> exec /bin/upas/smtp -a  -h $fd $addr $sender $*

This does the work for me.

Questions:

- shouldn't the headers file work too?
- how is this done right?

Thanks for your opinions,

Christian
