Yeah, the script for [EMAIL PROTECTED] has:
vacation :addresses "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ...
Yup...
This is obviously something that makes no sense and IMO falls under
the GIGO principal (garbage in, garbage out).
The vacation code checks the headers to make sure that one of the
recipients :addresses is listed to make sure that the message was sent
directly to them (not some kind of redirect or a mailing list
distribution). It then uses the address that it finds as the From:
address in the response since it will be a fully qualified email
address (the envelope RCPT TO address most likely will not).
So, in you case, the code happens to find [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the headers
first and uses this as the From: address.
I don't know what your user is trying to accomplish, but its clearly
not going to work as expected. I'd suggest you explain to the user
what the :addresses field is for and have them use it properly, since
I don't see anyway of working around this in the code without breaking
the intended functionality.
Ken,
Ok, another case of 'hit any user to continue' ;-)
Thanks for looking into this and for the answer... I know, this does not
make any sense, but that is the way some users are ;-(
I had a small hope this could be prevented with a minor change, but alas....
I'll look into a small script tho check if the email-address matches the
inbox to prevent this in the future....
Thanks, Bob
