Hi Guys

I'm having an issue on my server whereby the email sender_address field is getting rewritten as:

<smtp auth user name>@<smtp auth servername>

So for example if I were to auth as user [email protected] via the server someserver.net then my sender_address would appear to the recipient to be:

"[email protected]@someserver.net"

The mail settings have been left as the default as configured by directadmin and the issue appears to have happened sometime in the last month - sorry I cannot be more specific but I've only just noticed it.

I have had a look through /etc/exim.conf but I could not see where the value $sender_address was being rewritten. It is possible that it is being re-written as part of the spam checks ?

Any help apprecited as this is irritating one of my clients.

Many thanks
 
Appologies for being a dolt ... looks like I don't quite have a pristine exim.conf.

I had forgotten that I had added:

"control = submission"

some time ago to solve an issue with exchange servers misbehaving. It appears this wipes the Sender: field and is probably the cause of my current woes.

*goes back to pondering*
