Yes, I want to let sendmail use the `From:', that I insert into the mail header, as its proper `From:'. Yes, if life were easier and people and their tools smarter, I would only use a proper `Reply-to:', but you know the way they are. And message-user-mail-address is quite a resonable function to use instead of user-login-name, isn't it. And at least in my case sendmail never ever produces a valid e-mail address (to deliver e-mail to) from user-login-name, because either I'm behind a firewall, or my ISP assigns me a dynamical IP address and a deliberate temporary hostname, or ... What do you think about this suggestion?
