I tend to agree -- at the point sieve is processing the message, final delivery has not occured, and thus the headers that are being refered to here don't really exist yet. In some ways it is a judgement call. In any case, the suggested patch would need to handle all of the potential headers, not just Return-path. (I still haven't quite settled on wether to take it or not though). -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
