- When receiving mail via a uucp connection our mail software modifies
- the "Reply-To:" header on the message. For example, the header
-
- Reply-To: testuser@testhost.testdomain.test
-
- may be modified to be:
-
- Reply-To: hornet!duke!testhost.testdomain.test!testuser
-
- I checked RFC822 and it seems to indicate that the originator should be given
- the freedom to set the "Reply-To:" header to whatever it likes, though it
- doesn't explicitly say that the mailer is not allowed to modify it.
-
- So, is it the case that the "Reply-To:" header is not supposed to be
- changed? Also, where might the header changes be configured, in the mailer
- specification in the sendmail.cf file, or in the sendmail source code itself?
- Note that our ethernet connections do not result in modified
- "Reply-To:" headers.
-
- Thanks for any help!
