One of them says that the Sender: field MUST appear if the From: field is not "correct". Another says that the Reply-to: supercedes the From: field. So, in spite of the "illegality" of the From: field, both the Sender: and the Reply-to: fields were legal. Your complaint should have been made to the maintainer of your mail handler. --Frank
