Subject: [PATCH] Do not over-quote the -f envelopesender value.
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 08:48:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <871wcntf38.fsf@rho.meyering.net> (raw)


Without this, the value passed to sendmail would have an extra set of
single quotes.  At least exim's sendmail emulation would object to that:

    exim: bad -f address "'list-addr@example.org'": malformed address: ' \
      may not follow 'list-addr@example.org
    error: hooks/post-receive exited with error code 1
