Here's an odd one.

I'm using the Amavis virus scanner middle-ware (acts as an adaptor between various MTA's and various virus scanner apps). It has an option to have it notify the recipient of a message when it finds a virus and quarantines it (ie. "The mail server has detected a virus in an email addressed to you and has dealt with it....").

The problem comes when the virus-infected email has a bogus "To;" address in it, as sometimes happens. What I'm seeing is that, as the mail admin, I'm getting a bunch of bounces telling me that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" can't be resolved when trying to deliver the virus quarantine notification.

Does anybody already have a slick way of preventing this?

The only thing I can think of is to somehow feed Amavis the "Envelope-To"... the address that appears in the "RCPT TO" line in the SMTP delivery.

Which brings me to that part. Sometimes, I'll find out that I'm still on some old mailing list from one of my old email addresses. I want to unsubscribe, but I need to put the right "From" address in the unsubscribe message. I don't *know* what my subscribed address is because the "To:" line in all of the mailing list traffic says something like "Mailing List Recipients" or whatever. The way I was able to solve this with my old MTA (Exim) was to turn on a feature that had it add a "Envelope-To:" header field which, as I mentioned above, contained the address that was specified on the "RCPT TO" line in the SMTP delivery.

Is there a way to get Courier to give me the same kind of header line?

Regards,
