Sorry, but repeating this doesn't make this any less wrong. I don't know what you imagine "signed envelope" means in this context and I'm not sure I want to know. The postal equivalent of forwarding is forwarding, you write the person's new address on the envelope and drop it back in the mail. It has the same return address because it's the same letter. People have been making this victim-blaming argument for 20 years, ever since SPF was designed in a way that failed to handle normal forwarding. It was silly then, and it's no less silly now. This is my last comment on the topic, at least for this round. R's, John _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
