That sounds very plausible; I now wish I'd kept the article that caused this to happen, but at the time I had got myself fixated on the idea that it must be something in the system rather than a particular article (as we'd been fiddling with the INN configuration immediately before it happened). Various workarounds in suck suggest themselves; I'll hack something together.

I see that address in your From: header, and no Reply-To: header (though the latter could be an artefact of my own mail2news setup). Does this .sig only apply internally? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
