Correct, either one of these should fix the problem (using the
'sendmail' config option is probably cleaner).

Hmm, I'm guessing that you're not using Sendmail as your MTA. This is a
valid command line for Sendmail (at least is was the last time I
checked) which sends out a message with an empty Return-Path. This was
something that we (Larry and I) implemented in an effort to prevent mail
loops. Perhaps we should revisit this.

Yes, yuk. We should check for the presence of the Message-ID before
trying to use it (just fixed this in CVS). But, how is it that your
message doesn't have a Message-ID?
Thanks for bringing these issues to our attention.
