It is part of the design that the address rewriting for the envelope addresses also applies to the header addresses. And envelope addresses must be appropriate for the transport. The IDA versions of sendmail fix that. They allow separate address rewriting for header and for envelope. They also support a dbm database to efficiently choose how messages to a specific domain are handled. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
