Description

I've set-up a moinmoin 1.5 with "mail_sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" as configure option to send mails through sendmail. When a mail is sent because someone suscribed to modifications on a given page, suscribed users are correctly BCC'd; but mail_from address receive the mail too ('To' field is set to this address). If mail_from isn't a real address, it will bounce.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure moinmoin to use sendmail; set mail_from to your address
  2. Suscribe someone (say UserA) to a given WikiPage

  3. Modify WikiPage

  4. Address in mail_from will receive mail targeting UserA (even if non-subscribed)

Example

Details

Please provide excerpts of your configuration and of the mail header lines.

Workaround

Use mail_smarthost (even with "localhost") instead of mail_sendmail

Discussion

I believe that does happen on systems running postfix am I right? Please test if it does work if you use an address similiar to yours. (you need to have defined the same domain as yours (wiki@yourdomain.whatever) -- ReimarBauer 2006-02-07 21:28:07 (NoMoinBug)

Mmm, seems you're right. If mail_from is an existing address (with domain handled by the local postfix), no bounce, works fine; if it's a non-existing address (but on the same domain), a bounce is produced (mail is still delivered for subscribers). I thought I haved tested it, but I must have been not really awake (mail being still delivered mistakes me I guess)... So, it's seems to not be related to moinmoin, sorry for the disturbance, this bug can be deleted. -- PierrePalatin 2006-02-07 22:00:51
