Why isn't | sender set to message-make-sender? Because then a Sender header would be unnecessary. From and Sender should never have the same mailbox. Sender contains the mailbox of the agent responsible for submitting the message to the network (MTA). The idea is that while the originator mailbox may be ndw@nwalsh.com, the Sender is the local user on the local machine. Anything more than that is likely to spark a religious war. :) -- Rat \ If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ away immediately.
