Hi,

Having envelope-from added to the Received header would be useful. Has
it ever been considered ?

The compile option RECEIVED_ENVELOPE_FROM would do the trick. This is
more elegant than using a PREPEND action from some "check_sender_access"
(because the envelope-from data is added right inside a Received header:
this way we know which mail server the info is from).

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Julien.

Hi,

just curious: Why not just add the -DRECEIVED_ENVELOPE_FROM
to the build process?

This is for example useful for spamassassin:

Does anybody fear that this reveals privacy related
information? I am quite unsure about that.

IF it is a problem, someone should check exim, because I
think it defaults to doing exaxtly this. (I am not sure, I
never use it, but I have seen it in many headers.)


Cheers

Christian
