I documented upasname recently, around the same
time that I broke the mail man page into several ones.
The new versions are out on sources.  'man marshal' is
the relevant page.

Fromfiles went in during one of our many splits, when
Lucent was in the midst of splitting from AT&T, around
'96 to get the right return address for people.  Looking
around, I don't see anything execing aliasmail -f
so I don't think its used by anything anymore.  I'll
look harder, I may be wrong.

It thought I'd just note that RFC 822 headers are case insensitive and
zero or
more LWSP [Linear White SPace] characters can occur between the header
name and the colon.

LSWP = space and tab

The senders name can be chnaged in qmail.

The following is qmail for sender masquerade:
    alice@aichi-u ac.jp is converted to arisawa@ar.aichi-u.ac.jp
where ar.aichi-u.ac.jp is this dom name.

Aliasmail -f is invoked by /mail/lib/remotemail,
but only to get a sender's domain.  The sender
name can't be changed with it.

IN addition to rsc's suggestion

	upasname=cdevilbiss@charter.net

in your env will do it.

Reading through rewrite(6) and experimenting, it seems that it is
extremely difficult to send mail with a different origin than the
username I chose on my plan9 machine.

To be specific, my e-mail address is cdevilbiss@charter.net, but my
plan9 login name is colin; thus, all mail I send seems to come from
colin@charter.net.

Is there some way to do this that is neither deeply evil nor requires
me to change all instances of my login name in the bowels of the
system?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [9fans] plan9 username is not desired e-mail source

[cdevilbiss]

Thanks for both of your suggestions.

Interestingly, the aliasmail and /mail/lib/fromfiles suggestion didn't
work for me; I probably should have mentioned that I am on a 3e
system, so maybe the following have changed in 4e.

 From my mail(1):
        Aliasmail
...
          Under the -f option, alias files
          listed in /mail/lib/fromfiles are consulted instead, and the
          domain part only of the expansion is printed.

and my /mail/lib/remotemail:
#!/bin/rc
shift
sender=$1
shift
addr=$1
shift
fd=`{/bin/upas/aliasmail -f $sender}
switch($fd){
case *.*
	;
case *
	fd=charter.net
}
exec /bin/upas/smtp -h $fd $addr $sender $*

So it looks like $sender in remotemail is guaranteed to be the
original $1 (my login name?).  The $upasname suggestion seems to have
worked like a charm (once I remembered to respawn Acme Mail so that it
would pick up a new /env).

Did 4e change the way remotemail works so /mail/lib/fromfiles is more
``powerful?''  Also, is /env/upasname documented anywhere or just in
the source?

Thanks again to both of you.
