Anna Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hi All, Mails from the shop I'm working on appear in Outlook to be from "Apache [apache@blahblah.techiestuff.info] on behalf of Nice Shop Name [info@shop.co.uk]" & the Apache bit is obviously not very nice! Looking at the received email I seem to have the correct From header, but have Sender: Apache <apache@blahblah.techiestuff.info> Anyone know if I have set up osCommerce wrong or is it a php/apache setting? Everything else about the emails seems fine. oscommerce: E-Mail Transport Method sendmail (or smtp, tried both!) E-Mail Linefeeds LF Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails false php/apache (redhat/linux): sendmail_from no value And I'm told "sendmail is aliased to exim (smtp program)" As this is not the only site on the server (!) I can hardly change the sendmail_from. Searching I've come up with 2 possibilities: a header parameter -f but I haven't managed to figure out how the headers are set in osC and doubt I ever will! httpd.conf : setting ServerSignature On (no idea about this) I can't believe it's this difficult. Please can anyone help! Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Solved! In case anyone's in the same position: We use exim "via" sendmail. If you send a mail "From" an "untrusted" user then exim adds the Sender header. Solution: add Apache (or whoever) as a trusted user in the exim config file.

Anna Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Plus apparently the same holds for sendmail: add the webserver user to the sendmail config. You shouldn't get this issue if on a shared server as it should've been set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
