Josh,
If 'you' send them, then any responses will come back to 'you'. I guess I'd
notify the senders that their mail was not delivered and tell them to resend
the message. You can include the original (assuming that is what is in the D
file) in your notification message.
You might be able to reconstruct a Q file to match each D and once the Q is
there, IMail will start processing the mail. Look at a 'good' Q file to get
a better idea of what it should contain. I don't have a sample at this time,
but if memory serves, it usually has only 4 lines, if just one recipient.
