[Gllug] exim & reply-to headers

[Paul Brazier]

I've now got my Debian unstable up and running nicely on my home PC and
very impressed with the automatic update features, especially
considering recent security problems (but only really useful if you have
a broadband connection I'd say). Still struggling with ALSA though.

Exim is sending mail out OK but some SMTP servers are rejecting it.
I'm fairly sure this is because my "From:" header is the actual email
address but my "Reply-To:" header is just "paul at localhost" (I don't have
a domain name at home).

I set the "From" header in .muttrc using "my_hdr From: paul at foo.com"
Should I set the "Reply-To" header in this way also?
Or is this better done in exim?
The problem is I sometimes use different email addresses for mailing
lists so I also have a "send-hook" in .muttrc that puts in a different
"From" header.

So really I just want the "Reply-To" to always match the "From",
whatever it happens to be.

Paul.
