meillo@3 50 Especially the <TT>map</TT> commands need a closer look. These lines
meillo@3 51 map local parts of the given address towards a full RFC 822 compliant
meillo@3 52 email address. <I>map_return_path_addresses</I> does this for the
meillo@3 53 passed <I>Return</I> address, <I>map_h_from_addresses</I> for the given
meillo@3 54 <I>From</I> part.
meillo@3 55 <BR>
meillo@3 56 But, pay attention! As you can see the strange name <I>gmx_foo</I> in
meillo@3 57 front of both items has never been seen until now. And in
meillo@3 58 <I>allowed_mail_locals</I> you see the same item. What about this?
meillo@3 59 <BR>
meillo@3 60 An E-Mail will be passed towards the E-Mail provider giving a so
meillo@3 61 called <I>envelope</I>. This construction envelopes the real E-Mail
meillo@3 62 and passes important things like the address of the sender and the
meillo@3 63 address of the receiver to the E-Mail provider. These envelope date
meillo@3 64 will never be seen again on the receiver's site, because the MTA
meillo@3 65 running on receiver's host will delete them. But only the envelope is
meillo@3 66 valid for any MTA distinguishing the route towards the receiver. So,
meillo@3 67 it must be a valid address.
meillo@3 68 <BR>
meillo@3 69 Per default <I>MasqMail</I> uses the current <I>user-name</I> as
meillo@3 70 <I>Envelope-From:</I>. If we want to use different E-Mail accounts
meillo@3 71 with mapping of addresses via the above shown <I>map_return_path_addresses</I> and
meillo@3 72 <I>map_h_from_addresses</I> we have to to <I>mutilate</I> the envelope
meillo@3 73 data! That could be done very easily within <I>mutt</I>.
