Re: [WebDNA] SENDMAIL

numero = 113866
interpreted = N
texte = 1466 The email quoted below was in my SPAM box so I never saw it until today ... Yes, Postfix "just works" by default as an ideal non-relay SMTP server for WebDNA mail, at least on Linux. But most people configure it to send mail directly rather than passing its mail off to the Google server like you're doing. If you configure it to send mail directly, Postfix will not change your 'From' addresses like Google does. This means you can use any 'From' address you feel like entering into the WebDNA [sendmail] tag, thus allowing extreme flexibility.
