[OpenSIPS-Users] uac_replace_from() mangling the From header

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Jeff,

A common source of errors is the fact that the UAC / UAS do not properly 
mirror the RR parameters - if you could post the trace of the entire 
dialog, I will be able to say if it is the same or not in your case.

Regards,
Bogdan
