Looking at the code (newmsg.c where it execs SENDITSH), I think this argument is set to login_returnaddr(). In that function, if the login name doesn't contain "@" then the configured domain is appended by calling myhostname(). Therefore, the MTA never has to add its own default domain. Or have I misread the code?

That's true, but myhostname() will return the system hostname, if all else fails.

Indeed, but that is not the *MTA* adding its own configured default domain name.

Also, the OP said that they had set sqwebmail's 'hostname' file, and that the value they had put in there was being used by sqwebmail in the RFC2822 From: header (therefore they had put the file in the right place)

Because if I add @abbott-simses.com to $1 in sendit.sh I get this error from exim in sqwebmail. So sqwebmail is adding the system hostname (serval) and disregarding the hostname file I created.

exim: bad -f address "cjackson@ser@abbott-simses.com": malformed address: @abbott-simses.com may not follow cjackson@serval

Thanks. Craig
