Lines: 24 We've been having problems lately with mail coming in via SMTP from certain hosts. The problem occures when a ">From " line is in the header. It appears that sendmail decides that this is an invalid header and treats the rest of the header as message body (inserting a blank line before the >From line). This ends up generating an "Apparently To:" header as the original "To:" header is after the ">From" line. We have a temporary fix in that removes ALL ">From" lines from the message before it's sent from the other system, but this is just a hack. Could anyone give me a fix for my sendmail.cf file that will get sendmail to recognize the ">From" lines as valid header lines? I am running Ultrix 3.0 on a MicroVAX II and we do not have source to the Ultrix sendmail.
