Are you running a procmail script as well? When procmail bombs out the F out
of "From" gets dropped. This procmail recipe was posted to the email security
list, add it to the end of any scripts you run..
:0 H
* ! ^From[ ]
* ^rom[ ]
{
LOG="*** Dropped F off From_ header! Fixing up. "
:0 fhw
| sed -e 's/^rom /From /'
}
Donncha.
