It is for a perl script that works with just about every other mta's headers except qmail out. Its to do with rbl checking. Figured id be better off making qmail the same as the other mta rather than changing the script to make it support qmail. So your not likely to miss anything, but it may come in handy for someone else who finds the same issue with the IP in () not being found, but within [] it is. Shane
