So... erm, sorry, but I'm a bit unclear - do you think this is still a problem? :) After a quick look in the dma code, I don't think it tries to modify the From: header in any way. What it does is change the envelope sender to the virtual user; I guess Simon's thinking was along the lines of "the From: header should be set by the MUA; if somebody wants virtusers, he'll have told his MUA to set the proper From header". On the other hand, the behavior you've seen is completely explained by the fact that if the MUA sends a message *without* a From: header at all, dma will *add* a From: header with the e-mail address of the envelope sender. Since this is done after it has substituted the envelope sender address with the virtual one, It All Just Works(tm) :) I don't think it would be dma's job to *modify* the From: header if a MUA has set one. IMHO, what it does right now - always modify the envelope sender (if a virtuser is present) and always add a From: header if the MUA has not - should be the extent of its interfering with the user's message.
