<TITLE>Still troubles with mail envelope sender</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi all</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I wonder if I'm the only one with that problem or if there are others...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To get a real envelope sender I choose to user the sendmail 'perl' mailer and set:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>$SendmailArguments="-f\<postmaster\@example\.com\>";</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But I run into the problem of the Perl Mail Module setting a 'sender' header in the mail containing the user the webserver runs under 'www-date' that confuses a lot of MTA, especialy Lotus Notes and Outlook who then display that the mail was sent from www-data@localhost in behalf of 'queuename'.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Some of our customers then reply to the www-data@localhost header instead of the queue thus those mails get lost.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Now I searched the archive and found out that some people apparently have managed to use sendmailpipe and specify the envelope sender there.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So I tryed to use it with those arguments:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>$SendmailArguments="-t -oi -f\<postmaster\@iphpa\.ch\>";</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But still no change, this does not work and I don't even find any error messages.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>As soon as I remove -f\<postmaster\@iphpa\.ch\> it works again, but the envelope is www-data@localhost so the mails don't get accepted by external servers.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Has somebody found any solution to that problem?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Another small flaw I've found...</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>RT does not set a charset in the mailheader....</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Some MTA translate this to Charset: unknown-8bit.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Know what, some Mail-Clients then tell you, they cannot read the mail because of an unknown charset...</FONT>
