+TF/02 There have been two changes concerned with submission mode:
+
+      Until now submission mode always left the return path alone, whereas
+      locally-submitted messages from untrusted users have the return path
+      fixed to the user's email address. Submission mode now fixes the return
+      path to the same address as is used to create the Sender: header. If
+      /sender_retain is specified then both the Sender: header and the return
+      path are left alone.
+
+      Note that the changes caused by submission mode take effect after the
+      predata ACL. This means that any sender checks performed before the
+      fix-ups will use the untrusted sender address specified by the user, not
+      the trusted sender address specified by submission mode. Although this
+      might be slightly unexpected, it does mean that you can configure ACL
+      checks to spot that a user is trying to spoof another's address, for
+      example.
+
+      There is also a new /name= option for submission mode which allows you
+      to specify the user's full name to be included in the Sender: header.
+      For example:
+
+        accept authenticated = *
+               control = submission/name=${lookup {$authenticated_id} \
+                                           lsearch {/etc/exim/namelist} }
+
+      The namelist file contains entries like

-      (a) A new option, /name=value, makes it possible to supply a user name
-          to be inserted into any created Sender: header line. Typically, this
-          would be looked up from $authenticated_id.
+      And the resulting Sender: header looks like
 
-      (b) The envelope sender address is forced to be the same as the
-          submission mode sender address.

       which works in exactly the same way except it causes a fake SMTP 450

       You must take care when using fakedefer because it will cause messages
