UUCP and MAIL FROM:
Hello.
I use Zmailer as MTA at a Linux host with some UUCP "downlinks".
The minor problem is that any mail being sent from UUCP is owned by
respective "UUCP login" pseudo-user. I.e., if
somebody@subdomain.cor.neva.ru sends UUCP message to world, and his
UUCP logs in as uusubdomainfakeuser, Zmailer says
MAIL FROM:<uusubdomainfakeuser@atrium.cor.neva.ru>
instead of
MAIL FROM:<somebody@subdomain.cor.neva.ru>
Respectively, any errors are returned to this MAIL FROM. Of course,
it is aliased to <postmaster@subdomain.cor.neva.ru> now.
The nature of problem is clear: rmail looks on his UID when giving
message to Zmailer. But what is the solution? UUCP is Taylor's.
Regards,
Alexey
