I'm testing Gmail account so I sent a message from it to different e-mail account and I find this on the received side in its header "Received: (qmail invoked by alias); 03 Oct 2012 22:59:58 -0000" that is a GMX account if that makes a difference. Now what "qmail invoked by alias" stand for?
This conversation is currently closed to new comments.
probably refers to the actual mail handling software running on GMail, invoked by alias of your Gmail account rather than a direct qmail account. Note this is just a best guess, as I do not know the specifics of how GMail routes their messaging.
qmail is a mail transfer agent (MTA) that runs on Unix. It was written, starting December 1995, by Daniel J. Bernstein as a more secure replacement for the popular Sendmail program. qmail's source code is in the public domain, making qmail free software
So what you are seeing is that the Mail was transfered by Q Mail to the account you sent it to from the Account you sent it from and the rest as stated above is most likely referring to the sending account.
