For the record: the smtp rfc (2821) specifies that email leaving the MTA
should insert a return-path header to record the envelope sender.

Dbmail did not do this in the past, but has begun doing so recently
(havent looked up the exact change).

The bug in question was triggered by dbmail doing the right thing
(inserting the return-path header) the wrong way - leading to a stack
corruption which was visible as a key collision.
