I see the discussion of submission mode in chapter 48 of the manual and all
the
options about when to run it and what to tell it to do, but in practice, will
a
typical system clean everything up, just locally submitted stuff, or
soemthing
else? Tnx.
I'm thinking of stuff like this that might come from a badly written gateway:
From: fred at example.com
Message-Id: something@somethingelse

R's,
John
If I remember correctly, the basic philosophy is to
pass it along, but there are places where particular
headers do get sanitised or missing headers added.
