Package: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.4.2-5
Severity: normal

When a spammer sets the Return-Path address the same as the To address,
amavisd happily sends an UBE warning to this address. In this case being me.
I realize that abuse of the Return-Path header is hard to detect, but in
this case it is rather obvious:

Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: "Gary Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
