The dot-qmail man page shows a method for rewriting the envelope sender
address. If qmail does not meet its own specs, then that is a bug,
regardless of the religious debate about envelope sender rewriting. (Notice
that I'm staying out of the religious debate - it does not matter.)
IMO, the bug still stands. Still waiting for comments... Hopefully I'll be
proved wrong somehow.
