No xfilter on this system.  /etc/courier/maildroprc is doing nothing
other than importing a couple of variables.  The user's .mailfilter file
just has a couple of delivery lines.

I see the From lines in emails delivered to my maildir as well. Here is
the one from the list message I'm replying to:

 From courier-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net Tue Sep  9 19:46:35 2014

There are actually two identical From lines in the message.  One was
apparently added by maildrop on the external server when it cc-ed it in
and the other was added by maildrop on the internal server when it
delivered to the maildir.

Actually, I just noticed something looking back through my old emails.
The From lines are only there on messages newer than Jun 24.  This
corresponds to the date I upgraded the server from Courier 0.65.0 to
Courier 0.73.1.  The external server was upgraded from Courier 0.69.0 to
0.73.1 just prior to that.  I can see that this server also started
adding the From line to the cc-ed emails at this time.  There must have
been something that caused this change in behavior between version
0.69.0 and 0.73.1.

I don't have any From_ lines in any message in my maildir.

Something else is adding those, at some point before mail gets delivered.
