Hi Harm I didn't read the comments to the bug quite carefully enough to understand them until I saw this reply... So what Alessandros proposed patch did was enable the user (i.e. me) to set the return-path of the mail by specifying PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM in /etc/make.conf. What Simon apparently did was hardcode the from address in the code directly. Sooo... made this patch which allows the user to set both return-path and from address by specifying PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM in make.conf: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=79186 It does, however, seem quite clear that this wasn't the way the mail module was originally intended to work. But it does solve the problem. :) Thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread. -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
