As stated in the original email, take a look at the return path on those messages that are reforwarded out by dbmail. The from address on the envelope is not the original sender, but: <user the dbmail-smtp process is running as>@<$mydomain in Postfix config> That's the real problem I'm trying to solve. If I can get Postfix to do all of this, all the better as there are that many less processes involved. It also slightly decreases the number of db lookups involved. Brian
