Please correct me, if I am wrong. Therefore we CANNOT know how EVERY MTA will be passing us the envelope information. It can be some environment variables, added headers, written to inhireted open file descriptors, as X Window Events, whatever... If you know a way to make sure that we - inspite of having NO RFC - can make sure that we get that info from any current or future MTA... Please send us the patch ;-) Morten -- Morten K. Poulsen
