strange sender fields on IRIX

[Peter Ziobrzynski <pzi@netmediatech.com>]

Hi,

I ran zmailer on the SGI IRIX 6.2 and have a strange bahavior of the
router.  When sending mail via SMTP clients like Eudora the mail is being
delivered as it was sent be the user 'daemons' (uid=1).

To make the case simple I send the mail to smtpserver using telnet:

   $ cat | telnet localhost 25
   HELO netmediatech.com
   MAIL FROM:<pzi>
   RCPT TO:<pzi>
   DATA
   From: pzi
   To: pzi
   this is test
   .
   QUIT

then I get the router/3984054 that looks quite ok (to me):

   external
   rcvdfrom netmediatech.com ([127.0.0.1])
   with SMTP
   identinfo UNKNOWN@localhost (port 1727)
   from <pzi>
   to <pzi>
   env-end
   From: pzi
   To: pzi
   this is test

and then the transport/3984054-20192 with the wrong 'e' envelope entry:

   i 3984054-20336
   o 145
   l <96Oct25.123420-0400_edt.3984054-20336+1@media.netmediatech.com>
   e daemons <daemon>
   s local daemon daemon@netmediatech.com 1
   r       local pzi |/usr/lib/Zmail/bin/reassembler 1000
   m
   Received: from netmediatech.com ([127.0.0.1]) by media.netmediatech.com with SMTP id <3984054-20336>; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 12:34:20 -0400
   Sender: daemons <daemon@netmediatech.com>
   From:   pzi@netmediatech.com
   To:     pzi@netmediatech.com
   Message-Id: <96Oct25.123420-0400_edt.3984054-20336+1@media.netmediatech.com>
   Date:   Fri, 25 Oct 1996 12:32:41 -0400
   

and then the mail is delivered with the 'Sender: daemons' which confuses
some of the UAs that use Sender to reply:

   From daemon@netmediatech.com  Fri Oct 25 12:36:16 1996
   Received: from netmediatech.com ([127.0.0.1]) by media.netmediatech.com with SMT
   P id <3984054-20336>; Fri, 25 Oct 1996 12:34:20 -0400
   Sender: daemons <daemon@netmediatech.com>
   From:   pzi@netmediatech.com
   To:     pzi@netmediatech.com
   Message-Id: <96Oct25.123420-0400_edt.3984054-20336+1@media.netmediatech.com>
   Date:   Fri, 25 Oct 1996 12:32:41 -0400
   
   this is test
  
ANY IDEAS? I know that IRIX cannot navigate user ids with seteuid() properly.
Do you think this is the result of that?
