Antwort: Re: rewrite "from" for sudo mails

[barbara.ruess at allianz.de]

A colleague of mine has solved the problem:
additionally to what you told me, we have defined         mailerflags=" -t
-f newuser at xxx.com"     in the sudoers Defaults section.
Messages appear to be from newuser at xxx.com if and only if we make the
modification in logging.c and mailerflags as well.

Strange, that works fine for me.   I made the following change
to cause messages to appear to be from sudo at courtesan.com.
