No, it's not SMTP path differences. I _know_ that my mail path is identical for git-send-email as well as my MUA, because I had problems with GIT and whitespace in email addresses initially ;-). Since I have access to all the mail servers in my path (home -> AUTH SMTP @ work -> wherever), I dug at the logs, and found that vger did indeed accept my email to the list, but the messages never turned up on the list. The only weirdness I saw in that, is that the envelope sender did not appear to be set correct from git-send-email. Give me a moment to explore down that path. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
