[Bug 4717] New: EnvelopeFrom option should be documented as no-op in UPGRADE

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4717

           Summary: EnvelopeFrom option should be documented as no-op in
                    UPGRADE
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: nj@leverton.org


It seems from bug 3944 and from experiments that the EnvelopeFrom option is now    
silently ignored in favour of the Received headers (or possibly just "ignored  
in circumstances I haven't narrowed down yet").  
    
Documenting this change might prevent other people from    
spending a morning investigating why it doesn't work any more since they    
upgraded from 2.6x.  The Mail::SpamAssassin::Config docs still refer the reader    
to bug 2142 for envelope sender processing, which is way out of date. Nothing   
in UPGRADE about this change either.  Just the one-liner in Changes about bug 
3944. 
   
I also suspect the EnvelopeFrom pseudo-header may no longer be working when  
used in rules, but I'll raise a separate bug for that, when I've done some more  
tests to check.

See bug 4718 for the problem which made me think this option was ignored.      
      
For documentation purposes I believe this is how EnvelopeFrom is constructed.     
First match wins:    
      
1. from the Received header where the mail entered our trusted_networks, if the   
receiving MTA added an envelope-from or envelope-sender clause in accordance   
with http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/EnvelopeSenderInReceived;   N.B.  
without the patch from bug 4718, the envelope-from must be present and not <>.      
      
2. if no such envelope-from clause, then from the user's configured   
envelope_sender_header if it is present in the mail;   N.B. without patch from  
bug 4718, the header must be present and not <>.  
     
3. if envelope_sender_header is unconfigured or not present, and if the mail    
seems to have been handled via fetchmail at any point in its journey (forged or    
otherwise), and if there is an X-Sender header (forged or otherwise), then    
Envelopefrom is UNDEF;  
     
4. if there is an X-Envelope-From header (as used by Amavis) before all    
Received headers, that is used;    
    
5. if there is an Envelope-Sender header (used by qmail and new-inject) before    
all Received headers, that is used;    
    
6. if there is a Return-Path header (used by Postfix and Sendmail, and given a    
qualified MUST in RFC821) before all Received headers, that is used; 
  
7. otherwise EnvelopeSender is undef.

bug 4747 is probably a better fix.

closing this.  let's fix it as part of bug 4747, since the algorithm has changed
since that was applied.

(In reply to comment #3)
> yep, I've just looked -- confirmed.

That was comment #0, I meant the doc details in comment #1.  In any case,
kicking out of the 3.1 queue to 3.2 which has bug 4747 that this is marked as
dependent on.
