Clam doesn't do this at all. It's the widget that is used to integrate with the MTA that has control of this. I use courier, and this is exactly how my mail server handles it. Whatever integration tool you use to tie clam to your MTA (or the MTA itself) has this job - that's why it's not in the clam man pages ;-) m/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
