Subject:   guilty software that adds local host domain to barewords in "From:"
Message-ID:  <20020516222141.GA62112@moo.holy.cow>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
i was unpleasantly surprised when i got some mails which had local
host domain name in the "From:" header.  i was thinking that may be
somebody was forging the header & was out to get me, until i saw
another one like...

From: customer@local.domain foo@local.domain inc. foo@foreign.domain

...that obviously is due to the lack of quotes around "customer
foo inc.".

i use postfix, fetchmail, & procmail.  my guess is that postfix is
doing it, but i may be wrong.  where & how should i look (and
suppress) the behaviour?

thanks...
