Re: Gnus-5.8.6 + qmail: doesn't masquerade, adds Sender:

[Chris Shenton <chris@shenton.org>]

I queried how to prevent inserting

    Sender: myname@myhost.mydom.ain

when I set my name user-mail-address to myname@mydom.ain to masquerade
my internal hosts.

I tried both, separately and together, and the add-to-list bit does
what I'm looking for: it suppresses the gratuitous injection of the
spurious Sender: header. Thanks, Daniel!


A look through the code indicated that message.el did this if the
claimed username was different from what the system thought the
username should be.  Kind of annoying because some folks with (eh hem)
broken MTAs from large corporations reply to the Sender: header
instead of the From: header. Is disabling this sender check the best
way to do this? Is the Sender: injection there for security/paranoia?
Something else?

Thanks.
