It already does (as of 2.1.0). Take a look at the headers from your post: Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from mx3.andrew.cmu.edu (MX3.andrew.cmu.edu [128.2.10.113]) by mail1.andrew.cmu.edu (Cyrus v2.1.11-072) with LMTP; Thu, 16 Jan 2003 15:54:16 -0500 X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 2.2 I'm not sure why you aren't seeing this.
