Re: Problem with from address

Well, I have found out the problem now. Checking the 
/usr/local/tmda-1.0.3/templates directory, I find that tmda 
uses the following line for the sender address:

From.US-ASCII: "%(FULLNAME)s" <%(recipient_address)s>

So checking the online docs for the FULLNAME configuration 
variable tells me:

FULLNAME

Your full name.

Example:

FULLNAME = "John Doe"

Default comes from your environment or the password file.


So setting this variable in the tmda config file like 
this:

FULLNAME = "Keith Roberts"

has fixed the problem. I guess that now I'm running FC6, it 
was somehow is picking up the wrong username without this 
variable being set up properly.

Kind Regards

Keith Roberts
