Problem Rewriting 'Received: from...' and 'From:...'
|
|
Hello, the following question seems to be of interest for a lot of people, as I found many similar questions in the net - but until now I couldn't find a solution to the problem. I want to change the senders identity completely - when user root sends an email, addresses are rewritten - ok - but if you take a nearer look at the mail, you'll find out very fast who's the real sender of the mail. Here is an example: Content of file /etc/email-addresses: root: john.doe[at]mydomain.de When typing : echo "mycontent" | mail -s "mysubject" john[at]mydomain.de at the prompt as user root local user 'john' receives the following mail: Return-path: <john.doe[at]mydomain.de> Envelope-to: john[at]mydomain.de Delivery-date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:31:52 +0100 Received: from root by mydomain.de with local (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from <john.doe[at]mydomain.de>) id 1Gjbuh-0002Xu-Gc for john[at]mydomain.de; Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:31:51 +0100 To: john[at]mydomain.de Subject: mysubject Message-Id: <E1Gjbuh-0002Xu-Gc[at]mydomain.de> From: root <john.doe[at]mydomain.de> Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:31:51 +0100 mycontent In the exim.conf file I put the following rewriting-rule: *@+local_domains "${lookup{${local_part}}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\ {$value}fail}" Eh MY QUESTIONS: What can I do if I absolutely don't want to see the 'root' in the 'Received: from ...' and 'From: ...' lines? Or even more important - is the solution of this problem within the range of possibilties of exim?
