LoPresti) on Fri, 10 Dec 1999 | Comments? If I understand what you want, I think what you want is broken. It is critically important to remember two things: First, an RFC 822 mailbox has absolutely no relationship whatsoever with the machine on which the message is composed or from what machine it is submitted to the MTA. Second, a local mailbox is completely bound to the local machine. If I have `To: ratinox', the message should be delivered locally because that is what I have told my local MTA to do. If it is rewritten for canonicity with a complete domain part, then the message would be sent out to my MX host where I would have to grab it via POP. That is, assuming that the guess is in fact correct, which given "thing First" is impossible to do with 100% accuracy. This is not something unique to qmail, by the way. To and Cc should never be rewritten. If qmail-inject is rewriting To and Cc mailboxes, it is doing something wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0g (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE4UTbJgl+vIlSVSNkRAh3kAKDpdghd3gERGn8KOO1Hyrha3603TgCferHs GNthW64AJ1Bx35pntGXIxAc= =YJGy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete.
