[TriLUG] Re: Problems with Sendmail

[Brian Weaver]

Lance,

Your right, it is MXLogic' problem. Apparently their system, and by
proxy their employees, are either too stupid or too lazy to actually
implement the RFCs correctly. [Personally, I'd bet on "lazy" any day
of the week when something isn't done right.] Unfortunately MXLogic
will not change their system and has basically pushed the problem back
onto my friend.

Does any Sendmail guru out there know how to force sendmail to place a
valid or invalid address into the From lilne for the MDN messages?
