sendmail bug(?) in solaris2.4

2007-12-25 8:54:00

Thanks to the following people who pointed out that the fix is in the

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and that I should add the 'E' flag to the

local mailer spec so that it reads like so:

Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=flsSDFMmnPE, S=10, R=20, A=mail -d $u

some of you seemed to think that the E flag is ignored, however, the

above changed worked for me. Others pointed out that there is a

Context-Length and Context-Type header, however, I use emacs's vm

package which doesn't know about these headers.

My original question was:

>It seems that sendmail under solaris 2.4 does NOT prepend the usual '>'

>character in front of lines in the body of e-mail messages that start

>with the word 'From'. Has anyone else seen this?
