- Are you sure that sendmail is the cause of your problem?
- What *specifically* is the problem?
- Do you mean RFC822 From: headers, or do you mean
- rmail "From " lines?
- Are the lines truncated at some point, or are they
- missing entirely (``chops off'' is vague and
- ambiguous)?
- Can you supply an example?
- Can you supply more specific details of your
- installation (configuration options used to
- compile sendmail, etc.)?
- Does the problem occur with all messages, or only those
- transferred via uucp/uux/rmail?
-
- *If* you're having "From " lines or From: headers *truncated* on
- mail *received via uucp/uux/rmail*, *and if* you have not
- configured your UUCP system to use rmail as a link to the
- sendmail executable (i.e. you are using some other "rmail"
- program), then your problem is most likely caused by rmail, not
- sendmail. In that case, linking the sendmail executable to a
- file named "rmail", and instructing UUCP to use that program as
- rmail (e.g. via a COMMANDS entry specifying the full path name
- in HDB UUCP's Permissions file) should solve the problem.
