Normally when I send using mail, I can simply use the -r option to
set the mail user account specified in /etc/exim4/passwd.client.
This is probably clumsy and there must be a better way of doing it
but it works.
Now I want to use mutt to send attachments but it doesn't have the
-r option. Putting in "my_hdr From:" in .muttrc doesn't do it either.
Can someone suggest a way to make this work? It's probably trivial
but I can't find the solution via google.
There is a package named exim4-config . Run "dpkg-reconfigure
exim4-config , i.e. reconfigure the config package for exim4, which
is separate from the actual exim4 package. Answer the questions and
you get return address overwriting in exim4 plus other stuff that you
would have never known you needed. To handle a password
authorization, read /usr/share/doc/exim4/README.Debian.html section
2.3 and
man exim_passwd_client for the details of the format of the file
passwd.client
HTH,

No, I had all that. The address rewrite is a pain but not the real
issue. I don't want it using my account name. I want it to use an
address I set. Staticsafe's advice on .muttrc rules did that trick. I
just need to set up different .muttrc files for the various reply-tos
I want to use. I suspect I can also program it into mutt but I don't
want to devote that much energy to something that I have a really
simple way of handling.
Thanks though.
BTW: a second part of the problem would be to have e-mail going out from
different e-mail addresses through exim4. Right now I can specify the
credentials to use in passwd.client but that only allows one credential
per server so far as I can see (e.g.
*.rogers.com:a...@rogers.com:mypasswd
*.yahoo.com:my.yahoo.com:mypassword
I'm not sure if setting my_hdr from: would allow that or interfere with
the various set from = settings I'm using to get the e-mail to go at all.
