I'm noticing that maildrop is setting a null envelope sender when sending messages to external addresses using to and cc.

I've tried setting the sender manually in the SENDMAIL variable, but it appears that maildrop is appending a "-f ''" argument to the SENDMAIL variable.

Is there a way to change this behavior? I want to preserve the original sender of the message, if possible.

There's never a solution that will please everyone. If the original sender's address gets forwarded, here, then everyone forwarding mail for SPF-using senders will start complaining, instead.

how about just having like a SENDMAIL_ARGS variable that can be modified, or not auto-appending the "-f ''" argument? That would allow SPF users to do whatever crap they have to do so they don't break internet mail, and allow others to do as they wish as well.

If you need to set a return address, instead of "!address", use" | sendmail -f 'whatever' address" to forward mail.

hrm, that works, but it's fugly :)

Thanks!
