I didn't realise that. Thanks.

Nope, 'From:Lee' still gives me Lee@cs.strath.ac.uk in the received message.

Yup. Here's a little example of a mail program (some might call it an email
spammer perhaps) to help me apply for some jobs. This is also why I wanted to
know if sendmail could be used for usenet postings...

Dear
<dtml-var name>, 
Further
 to you advertisement on <dtml-var advertisement> I am writing to enquire as to
whether you have any summer
 internship / practical training opportunities available for Computer Science
 graduates this summer. I am due to graduate with a BSc Hons degree in Computer

  Science in June 2001 from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, and from
there ... blah blah blah

<p>You'll get the job ;-)</p>

This gives me the *correct* results so I can't imagine that's a problem with the
mailserver:

Subject: web developer practical training/internship position

From: Lee Reilly <----- perfect!
Reply-To: lee.reilly@ntlworld.com
To: Lee.reilly@ntlworld.com

So I think it's a problem with
To: dtml-var "_.string.join(recipients,'@cs.strath.ac.uk,')">@cs.strath.ac.uk

It's now more trouble than it's worth so I'll just implement it differently.
It's quite annoying though!

Thanks for your help anyway :)

- Best regards,

Lee
