Is there a reason > you think ezmlm will do a better job than you can? People are repeatedly taken by surprise at the address ezmlm figures out for them, so I don't think this is a stupid suggestion. For a user to figure this out for himself, he needs the MTA he receives through to preserve the envelope sender somewhere, and he needs his MUA to give him access to that information, and he needs to know how and where to look. Many, many, users don't know all that; and it can't be reduced to a cookbook because MTAs and MUAs both differ in how they do their parts of the operation. -- David Dyer-Bennet [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ddb.com/~ddb (photos, sf) Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon http://ouroboros.demesne.com/ The Ouroboros Bookworms Join the 20th century before it's too late!
