Have sendmail set to masquerade as my ISPs mail machine and to masquerade the "envelope". All seems to work fine. I use dummy accounts to experiment with trial setups of gnus and other software. Most recently a dummy account called "exp" with a semi minimal .emacs and .gnus. Mail sent from that account's instance of gnus uses the proper "From" address as per a lisp line in its .emacs: (setq user-mail-address "reader@newsguy.com") I sent (to myself) and retrieved several test messages. The retrieved (with fetchmail from pop server) messages display an X-from and "Return-Path:" line like so: >>From exp@newsguy.com Wed Apr 14 09:09:46 1999 Return-Path: Both of which are correct given my setup, but far as I know the "Return-Path" header is actually illegal since it can not be resolved or mailed to from the Internet. Should be "reader@newsguy.com" I see no "Sender:" line though, it would seem, this should also be generated and show the origins of the message. This account has nothing in .emacs or gnus to suppress a "Sender" My questions: 1) Why no "Sender" 2) How can I make this instance of gnus generate a legal Return-Path? Or is that done somewhere else in the chain of events? -- Harry Putnam Running Redhat Linux 5.2 http://www.jtan.com/~reader
