LoPresti) on Fri, 10 Dec 1999 | Qmail is an *Internet* mail delivery agent; No, it is a mail transport agent (MTA) that speaks simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP). | it is an error to use qmail-inject to process any other kind of message. | As the entry point to Internet mail delivery, qmail-inject ensures that | the messages it outputs are compliant with RFC 822. Rewriting headers of an RFC 822 message for canonicity is a good thing. But if a message is not an RFC 822 message, qmail-inject has absolutely no grounds for turning it into an RFC 822 message. And even then, rewriting To and Cc is a Really Bad Idea because it can and eventually will cause mail not to be delivered properly (see my response to Kai's message for some details). Now, if qmail cannot cope with non-RFC 822 messages, you need to have another MTA around to deal with those messages. Still and all, if rewriting To and Cc is really what you want to do, then I think that writing a qmail-inject program in Emacs-Lisp and hooking it into smtpmail (or replacing it outright) is a better solution than breaking message-mode for everyone who does not use qmail, yes? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0g (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE4UXidgl+vIlSVSNkRAn03AJ9lVbdJf1bOw5A8FZH8GgHYjzaY+QCg3N8J IezJIFoI9Jum7/wohBuoQn4= =vj/6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ of skin.
