This problem has been plaguing me for the longest time and I
still haven’t found what the cause of the problem is. Very infrequently,
a user will complain about having somebody else’s name/emailaddr in the
FROM: field. In the past, I’ve gone into the user’s .pref
file and have found that there are multiple people listed in their
(email_address1, email_address2, etc). Mind you, we do not allow
editing either field as a regular user. Lately (I noticed this since upgrading from 1.4.9 to
1.4.10a) – that problem is no longer apparent. Instead, an even
more insidious problem. Apparently the new problem (though maybe its
always done this and I haven’t noticed until now) is that a user’s
email_address and name will be overwritten by someone else’s information
(so instead of there being an obvious problem (grep email_address2 *.pref),
there is still only one email/name in the .pref file – but with someone
else’s data). The two users in question seem to _always_ have
something in common – namely, they have used the same computer (e.g. a
brother and sister – or a boyfriend and girlfriend). This has been
the case for pretty much every problem I’ve examined in detail so far. I have seen Patch #1710663 – could this help?
Apparently this patch was rejected as “not the right way to fix”
that guy’s problem. He was using the DB backend and it seemed like
he was seeing incorrect data in dbcache and the patch was suggesting that SM
should always go to the DB backend for the correct Here is what we’re running with: Fedora Core 4 PHP 5.2.1 SM 1.4.10a (.prefs in flat text files – no DB) Plugins: 1. delete_move_next 2. sent_subfolders 3. squirrelspell 4. newmail 5. filters 6. message_details 7. translate 8. bug_report 9. view_as_html 10. retrieveuserdata v0.9 (pulling from
