I'm working on it, but to say the truth, that script doesn't work!!
I don't know what happens. The script is:
--------------------------
#!/bin/sh
for i in /var/qmail/alias/pppdir/new/*
do
perl -pi -e 's/^Return-Path:.*/Return-Path: <mylogin\ <at> superig.com.br>/' $i
done
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp ~alias/pppdir alias-ppp- smtp.superig.com.br superig.com.br
cowsay "Your mail was sent!!!" # a cute cow say that the mail is sent :)
--------------------------
The problem is that it runs the perl part for every file in
~alias/pppdir/new/, then it does not send the e-mail using the
maildirsmtp line, but it runs the cowsay line.
If I change the perl part by another thing like an 'echo' command, the
e-mails are sent correctly. Seems like perl is fu**ing it all!!
I'd appreciate more details about a way of triggering. Any information
is welcome.
Thanks for now!!

You don't run the script as user alias. Maybe the files are owned by the other user after running the script. Did you check this? > e-mails are sent correctly. Seems like perl is fu**ing it all!! You simply have to run the script as user alias. It will work. > I'd appreciate more details about a way of triggering. Any information > is welcome. Example for using a named pipe: Create a named pipe somewhere (for example in /var/qmail) that is readable by alias and writeable for everyone who needs to trigger the sending of mail (for example group users): mkfifo /var/qmail/sendtrigger chown alias.users /var/qmail/sendtrigger chmod 420 /var/qmail/sendtrigger Then create a new command script 'sendnow' in /usr/local/bin (*not* setuid):(Continue reading)

No, Return-Path is not touched. The last Delivered-To is adjusted. Of course the whole problem could be solved by setting the correct values in the MUA, but who knows if this is possible.
