Despite having set apache as a trusted user by sendmail (as per http://fsck.com/rtfm/article.html?id=5#106) messages coming from the RT
machine are still coming with a FROM: field address of
apache@localhost.localdomain
I am using the sendmailpipe option in RT_Config and everything else seems to
be functioning correctly.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Vincent
PS
I am using a webmail application (squirrelmail) on the same box that is
changing the FROM: correctly, and its running via apache as well.

from: field in mail headers overrides in templates.
With sendmail you could override return-path for bounced mails.

I’m also using sendmailpipe, and my submit.cf’s configured to forward all
mail to our proper outbound MTA which is running on a different machine. I
captured a packet trace using ethereal, and the problem I’m seeing is that
the SMTP envelope ‘from’ is being set to apache@william.isode.net (ie the
user that’s running httpd, and the hostname of the machine running httpd)
and I suspect our outbound MTA’s tossing messages from clearly bogus users
into /dev/null
The message content has a ‘from’ which matches the config in
RT_SiteConfig.pm, ie “Chris Ridd via RT ”.
Is there any way to tune the envelope ‘from’ in RT (3.0.9 btw), or is the
only solution to tweak the MTA to accept what RT’s setting?

You can force this by using the -f Parameter: add to SendmailArguments
something like: “-f postmaster@domain.com”.
The trusted user option only prevents “X-Authentication-Warning” warnings.
are you using sendmail or sendmailpipe? I needed to switch to sendmail
pipe to keep the sender header from screwing up the appearance of emails
in Outlook.
I think the problem I was having was in the perl modules so it wasn’t an
RT problem…basically sender was being set as the webserver user.

What “envelope from”? do you mean the MAIL FROM that’s in the smtp
exchange? the return path? the sender header?
