Hi, Most GUI email clients require you to give one (and only one) sender email address. It's normally a pain to change it. Not once of course, but if you have to do it many times during the day... I'd like to find some way of sending email to some kind of 'procmail' thingy that would let me define rules to change the sender information depending on to whom I'm sending the stuff. Like that I could automatically impersonate [EMAIL PROTECTED] when sending mail to this list and be myself when sending private email to my private (and trusted) friends, etc. Unfortunately, I'm one of those poor soles that have to live with M$ stuff at work, so such a solution must be possible to implement not only under Linux but also under M$32 (and M$00). Perl comes to my mind, but I don't find the time to start developing an SMTP server in Perl just to execute rules and then forward stuff to either our SMTP server at work or to sendmail at home. I guess that if I *knew* sendmail, I could probably do it there(?), but as I said, at work I'm stuck with M$. :-( Regards Gustav Thomas Ribbrock wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 05, 2000 at 02:16:16PM +1000, Danny wrote: > [...] > > - Avoid giving away your real email to user forum groups like deja, > [...] > > I'd be even more restrictive about this: Don't use your real address on > mailing lists (including this one) either, at least not as long as > they're archived on the web somewhere.
