Seems to me that the reason Google recommend not rewriting the envelope sender is that your domain may get punished for forwarding spam. The solution, apparently, would be to use a different domain. And probably a different IP address, too. Of course that makes it more likely that your own email is delivered, but less likely that the forwarded email is delivered: since it won’t benefit from any positive reputation that your own email has. -- Ian Eiloart Postmaster, University of Sussex +44 (0) 1273 87-3148 _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org http://chilli.nosignal.org/mailman/listinfo/mailop
