Subject: | bug#68686: [Bug] smtpmail-send-queued-mail ignores some headers of the message it's sending! |
Date: | Wed, 24 Jan 2024 17:25:27 +0000 |
Open emacs as follows: emacs -QFor each of the following lines, do M-: and then paste the line, press enter.
(setq message-mail-user-agent t) BUT I THINK EVEN IF YOU SKIP THIS, THE SAME RESULT OCCURS
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-queue-mail t) (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "INSERT YOUR SMTP SERVER HERE") (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 465) (setq smtpmail-stream-type 'ssl) Now generate a new message: C-x mNow fill in the headers To: to one of your addresses, From: to another of your addresses (mine have different domain, and the To: is the same domain as the smtp server), Subject: test, Body: test
C-c C-s M-x smtpmail-send-queued-mail Press enter, and I get the following message:smtpmail-send-queued-mail: Sending failed: 504 5.5.2 <user@fedora>: Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address
Bug Part 1: The From: header is ignored (from the message as saved in 'queued email folder') when sending with smtpmail-send-queued-mail, and takes the value of user-mail-address when this wasn't previously customized by the user. This is really worrisome! What else is ignored and rewritten without warning when invoking smtpmail-send-queued-mail? Followup to Bug Part 1: It would be interesting to figure out whether this happens also when user-mail-address had been previously customized by the user. Bug Part 2: This discrepancy between the behaviour of queued-sending and immediate sending (I use the default functions for the most current version of Emacs as of today) I consider to be a bug on itself. Because not doing things consistently confuses the user (even not doing the *wrong* thing consistently confuses the user. In this case the wrong thing is rewriting the From: header of every email).
