[rt-users] 3.4.2 RT on SuSE, mail being sent as nobody

[Ruslan Zakirov]

As far as I understand your Apache(RT) runs under nobody user, but RT
sends mail with "from" header field different from
'nobody at your_domain.com', so sendmail adds info that real author was
'nobody'. There is trusted users config file in the sendmail, but it's
not good idea to make nobody trusted sendmail user. Create new
user/group for apache, change apache config, add this user to trusted
list, after this sendmail wouldn't be adding info about real author of
the mail.
