Re: [SM-USERS] SquirrelMail 1.4.15 - How to modify the mail header information Received

[Paul L. <pa...@sq...>]

I asked you not to top post, so why did you top post again?  I asked
you to consult the mailing list posting guidelines which explain top
posting and more, but you ignored me.  Do you respect the free help
you are getting?

It'd be better if the hostname is set to a fully qualified domain
name.  Try something like mail.example.com.  I also sent you a whole
range of comments and questions, none of which you bothered to answer,
yet you come back asking for help again (note I told you to use "xxx"
replacements with more consistency and sense... in this message not
only did you ignore my suggestion, but you actually replaced
meaningless local 192. addresses yet left in your real home IP address
for the world to see).  $encode_header_key was suggested, but I think
you need to address the real problem you seem to have, which is
probably in your server (hostname?) setup.

Such a hostname is not valid, unless you are not showing that it is
actually fully qualified.  If SM does not use it, this is due to your
web server configuration and is not a SquirrelMail problem.  You
should also make sure that the SquirrelMail $domain has been correctly
configured.

SM only creates the bottom one.  The MTA adds the other one itself.

Your web server/PHP environment is responsible for this.  Maybe your
server is so borked that if you don't want to fix it the right way you
should in fact use $encode_header_key (use the SM conf.pl utility-->2
Server Settings-->B Update SMTP Settings-->9 Header encryption key) so
you can just mask your problems.  But I think you still might have
problems if what you said previously was true (example 2 has "local"
in the MTA's Received header, which you claim is getting your messages
blocked).  In that case, it will be clear that you need to go back to
square one and configure your server correctly.

SM uses the SERVER_NAME PHP environment variable - if none exists, it
will use the SM $domain setting.  Looks to me like the SERVER_NAME in
your PHP environment is problematic.

The authenticated user you show is suspicious.  There should be no
reason why it should say "local" in your username - you have borked
your mail server setup or not bothered to configure SM's $domain for
starters.  I *ALREADY* pointed this out, and you ignored it.  Please
