- Hello
-
- Maybe it's a FAQ, but what if the mailsystem (SysVR4) produces a
- 'From' line in the following format, e.g.:
-
- 'From root Thu Aug 13 09:57:26 MESZ 1992 remote from kommu'
-
- for all non-local mail (as ours does).
-
- We use Elm 2.3PL11 and I have modified some sources to inhibit a strict
- From-line checking, but I am not sure that is works correctly for
- all cases.
- Is there an 'official' patch available and what's the behaviour
- of Elm2.4 for this ?
-
- Thanks in advance
-
- Wolfgang
