Noel, thanks for your reply. It was my guilt to blame postfix for what was mutt's work... (I felt right because postfix earlier damaged my From:-header until I set use_from to no). In the case of Return-Path I had to set a mutt switch (set envelope_from="yes") because the "sendmail -f"-switch was ignored as well as the "my_hdr Return-path:" and "my_hdr envelope-from" settings in .muttrc. The set envelope_from="yes" switch lets mutt set envelope_from:-header to the value of the From:-header, what's exactly what I wanted. Now I can every db user give his own .muttrc, which does the trick. thx & regards joerg
