Encoding received email with sendmail

Fergal O' Ceallaigh — Fri, 16 Aug 2002 13:38:20 GMT

Greetings all. I have a simple question regarding the encoding/format of received emails. My Linux box receives mails from x@domain.com where x is everything and anything. It then forwards all mails it receives to an exchange box. This works fine.

However, my question is:

Is it possible to have sendmail 'strip-out'/remove or replace the encoding of the received mail?

i.e. to remove character set instructions like charset="ks_c_5601-1987"

I'd be more than happy to explain why I need to do this, but it is not directly relevant to my question.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

Hi Fergal,

How do you 'relay' *@domain.com. When through the alias file, consider procmail(1), procmailrc(5) and formail(1).

You might also look into metamail.

Look into sendmail with the -m option..
