24.9.104 SaveFromLine
Save Unix-style From lines All versions
Many Unix MUAs, as well as some transmittal systems suchas UUCP, require that a mailmessage
header begin with a line that begins with the five-character sequence ???From ???. All
other header lines must adhere to the RFC2822 standard and be delimited with a colon:
From jqp@Washington.DC.gov Mon Jan 01 12:35:25 2001
Return-Path:
Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2001 12:35:15 PDT
From: jqp@Washington.DC.gov (John Q Public)
If you don??™t set the SaveFromLine option, the first line in the preceding example is stripped
out by sendmail. Th eSaveFromLine option prevents this because it tells sendmail to keep
header lines that begin with the five characters ???From ???. But note that it also causes this
header to no longer be recognized as a header.
* This is not strictly necessary. Both /archives/admin/log and /admin/log will work equally well. The former,
however, is preferred for clarity.
