My 'identity' as stend@sten.org has quite SD> different associations than my 'identity' as sten.drescher@tivoli.com, SD> so the From header should include the 'identity' I am operating as. If my boss wants me to write up something and send it out, he is not the originator, I am. If my boss writes up something that he wants me to send out, he is the originator and I am the Sender. Desire has nothing to do with what goes in the From header; who writes the message determines that. If you are originating at tivoli.com then your 'identity' is sten.drescher and your mailbox is sten.drescher@tivoli.com; if you are originating at sten.org then your 'identity' is sten and your mailbox is stend@sten.org. Yes, they are two different mailboxes associated with two different 'identities'. This is one of the reasons for the Reply-To header. If you want to send mail from tivoli.com but want replies to go to your sten.org mailbox, you should have 'sten.drescher@tivoli.com' in your From header and 'stend@sten.org' in your Reply-To header. That is the easiest way to do it. Alternately, an equally correct setup would be to put 'stend@sten.org' in the From header and 'sten.drescher@tivoli.com' in the Sender header, with the former identity being the originator and the later identity being the one responsible for submitting it to the network. However, this may not work if your site's mail hub is in the habit of rewriting outgoing headers. It can also break with some MUAs (Mickey$oft Mail) that honor Sender over From. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: cp850 iQCTAwUBMyXiYp6VRH7BJMxHAQHwnAPw99lhcwaZc4NHUnz2XEiymTqZS6sxE/m/ KU89QV+pxR++1nCkTi7XUe8fMNGYeAy9gttdxwlhobAPgtAvDXV6jI9/VUiFk6qp LldnOMyp2/t2WvEPAkErjbE11Ky9BvsUCbgF+e9oo4OdmE8+oaGF1EcuW4upjyhH 5qVNCMOK =COXM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ returned to its special container and \ kept under refrigeration.
