It does, but the source of my problem was that I forgot that it was tested twice (address, then host name). So when the address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't match the address (good), but it /does/ match the host name (oops). So the rule fires anyway. > However, the problem is probably that the "senders" parameter doesn't > operate the way you think it does.
