I was confused when I first read this message.
|
|
|
|
I assume that you are talking about the internal "From " line that appears
|
|
in the traditional UNIX mailbox format, and *not* the RFC 2822 "From:"
|
|
header line? If so, then Timo's response is correct.
|
|
|
|
The "From " line is an artifact of traditional UNIX mailbox format; it
|
|
does not appear in other mailbox formats. This generally contains the
|
|
return address, which is not necessarily the same as the originator or
|
|
reply address.
|
|
|
|
Many MDAs will write a Return-Path: header with this data. If yours does
|
|
not, there many be a switch in your mail delivery configuration to enable
|
|
it.
