Summary:                    Mantis sends email with invalid envelope sender
Description: 
Email sent by Mantis, e.g. because a user is monitoring a bug, comes with
(at the SMTP envelope level) sender apache at carolina.digium.com, which is
not a valid email address (no MX entry for the domain and no SMTP server
listening on this address). Some email systems refuse mail with a sender
that does not take mail back (verification through callback).

Please use a valid sender. It can be empty, for example. Or
bugs at digium.com, like it was in early 2007.

No, still not. The SMTP sender is still apache at carolina.digium.com, the
"From" header is noreply-bugs at digium.com. The headers show that
carolina.digium.com uses Exim as its mailer. Here is (adapted) what I did
on one of my servers to address a similar problem:

untrusted_set_sender = ${if eq {${sender_ident}}{apache}
{noreply-bugs at digium.com}{}}

in the "main" (first) section of the configuration file.

This allows the "apache" UNIX user to send mail with an SMTP sender of
noreply-bugs at digium.com, for example by using the "-f" command-line option.
Exim will still add a header "Sender: apache at carolina.digium.com", that is
good and well and should (in my opinion) not be disabled.
