[cobalt-users] Problem with Openwebmail, sendmail, on RaQ XTR



I have been having a problem with the "from" header being rewritten on
e-mail messages. I have one IP serving two domains sspl.org and
saratoga.lib.ny.us. The reverse lookup should resolve to the
saratoga.lib.ny.us. If I send mail while logged into the server, using
Mutt, the From header is whatever I set it to: sspl.org,
saratoga.lib.ny.us or yahoo.com. It doesn't matter. If I try to send
mail out using OpenWebMail, installed on my RaQ XTR with package
master, it gets changed to saratoga.lib.ny.us. I don't know if this is
related to last security patch which upgraded sendmail or not.

At first I thought it was but I couldn't see what may have changed. I
did have to restore the saved sendmail.cf to get things, notable
mailing lists, to work again.

I do have a "DMsaratoga.lib.ny.us" entry which used to rewrite the
domain but never overwrote the from header before and I suspect still
isn't.  I added sspl.org to the domain list for OpenWebMail so from
the OPeWebMail screens it looks like its coming from sspl.org. 

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, so that either sspl.org or
saratoga.lib.ny.us will be left alone if that's what the from header
says. (I don't mind stopping mail going out with other from headers or
say whatever.sspl.org becoming sspl.org, whatever.saratoga.lib.ny.us
becoming saratoga.lib.ny.us and h4x0r5.com being stopped dead.) But
anyone with sspl.org in the from header who has an account should be
able to send as such from the machine. Here is what currently is
happening with Openwebmail - these are headers from a message I send
to myself.
