Which mail-lib version are you using? (package-get-package-provider 'mail-lib) gives me (mail-lib "1.45") Does XEmacs not ask you this when you send the bug report? Your mail address? SOME-GUESS-BY-XEMACS-GOES-HERE-FOR-YOU-TO-CORRECT Save address for future sessions? (y or n) christian> Gnu emacs invokes sendmail -oi -f christian(a)xpogen.com -oem -odb -t christian> which is good. christian> But Xemacs invokes sendmail -oi -f brech -oem -odb -t christian> and THAT'S BAD! Can you reproduce this in vanilla X/Emacs? Else it might be differences in your setup for Emacs vs. XEmacs. Hope this helps, Adrian christian> Because now sendmail puts in brech(a)localhost.localdomain as the christian> Return-Path, and many mailers will reject the message as they cannot christian> resolve the originating domain. christian> By the way, christian> * Supplying Return-Path: as a header in the message does not help; christian> sendmail overrides it. christian> * Gnu emacs has "/usr/sbin/sendmail" as the send-mail-program, christian> but changing that has no effect. christian> * I'm serious about mail in emacs. I've been using VM for years. christian> And, the Return-Path problem is unrelated to VM. christian> Question: How can I influence what Xemacs puts after the -f option to christian> sendmail? Try setting user-mail-address christian> Thanks christian> Christian -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
