Chicago, IL Lines: 24 Xref: mnetor comp.mail.elm:411 comp.mail.headers:222 comp.mail.misc:745 comp.mail.uucp:987 We recently installed smail 2.5 on our machine and noticed that none of our installed mailers recognize the "From" address any longer. Smail prepends the message with headers reflecting the transport mechanism, ie:uucp etc. It also seems to stick a ">" in front of the actual From. We are running Xenix SVR2.2 our mailers are the svbinmail which comes with smail, the lmail (original Xenix bsd'ish mailer), mush and elm 1.5. NONE OF THEM SEE THE REAL "FROM" They all report the incoming mail from uucp. I seem to remember seeing a similar posting a month or so ago, but saw no replies on the net. I've spoken to others who seem to remember similar problems which went away somehow! HELP!! Thanks in advance for any assistance. Robert A. Johnson ...ihnp4!laidbak!spl1!raj
