Whatever I did or said that got people upset - I apologize. Please allow me to rephrase. I make use of the Delivered-To and X-Original-To headers that are set via the pipe transport (and when I used it, the virtual transport). I'm using the Dovecot lda via the pipe connection. Dovecot offers a lmtp delivery agent that is (so I'm told) more efficient. I don't see any flag options for the ltmp transport that are similar to pipe - however in the past people have suggested ways of using existing Postfix features to accomplish specific tasks in ways that were not immediately obvious to me - generally because while the features were documented, I either didn't understand or simply didn't think of using them in that particular fashion. The lmtp transport has a whole host of available settings - many of which I don't immediately understand. So - with this preface in mind, I humbly ask: Is there a method by which I can have these headers added while using lmtp? If not, then before I make a feature request via whatever the appropriate and correct channels may be - is there a particular reason why these headers are not already an option via lmtp (aside from nobody asking for or seeing the need previously). Is there an architectural or conceptual reason why these headers should not be added via an lmtp connection? -- Daniel
