Name
SingleLineFromHeader
Synopsis
Lotus Notes’ SMTP mail gateway can generate
From:
headers that contain newlines and that
contain the address on the second line:
From: Full Name <address>
Although this is legal per RFC822, many MUAs mishandle such headers
and are unable to find the address. If your site suffers from this
problem, you can define the SingleLineFromHeader
option using one of these forms:
O SingleLineFromHeader=bool ← configuration file (V8.8 and later) -OSingleLineFromHeader=bool ← command line (V8.8 and later) define('confSINGLE_LINE_FROM_HEADER', `bool')← mc configuration technique (V8.8 and later)
The bool
is of type
Boolean. If it is true,
sendmail will convert all newlines found in a
From:
header into space characters. If it is
false, sendmail will leave all
From:
headers as is. The default for the
mc configuration technique is false.
The SingleLineFromHeader
option is safe. Even if
it is specified from the command line, sendmail
retains its special privileges.
