Exactly. It's an unreliable header. So why use it? I use sendmail + fetchmail + procmail + mutt. No Return-Path: header found. Here's my full recipe for mutt-users. Mangle to taste (I use mbox folders; ymmv): :0 H * ^TO_.*@mutt.org * ^Sender:.*owner\-mutt\-users\@mutt\.org { :0 { RULE="mutt users" } :0: IN.mutt } Apologies to members of the list who couldn't give a flying @#$%^ about procmail. Stuff like this really ought to go to procmail-users (another very good list IMO). [Sorry 'bout the cc: Sven.
