           Summary: kmail using sendmail: can the use of sendmail -f flag be
                    made optional to avoid Authentication Warning?
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.8.1
          Platform: NetBSD pkgsrc
        OS/Version: NetBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: ghen telenet be


Version:           1.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    NetBSD pkgsrc
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (NetBSD nb3 20040520) 
OS:                NetBSD

When kmail uses sendmail to send e-mails, it calls sendmail with the -f $SENDER flag, \
to set the envelope sender to $SENDER.  This was requested in bug #50674, to make \
kmail able to send e-mails out of the box, without having to configure sendmail (or \
any MTA) to set return adressess correctly (using e.g. genericstable).  But this has \
the side-effect that sendmail gives an authentication warning, and generates an \
X-Authentication-Warning header for untrusted (non-root) users.  This is especially \
undesirable if you actually did setup sendmail to rewrite the headers correctly.  So, \
could this -f flag be made an option to kmail? \
