How can I do that? Actually, I did not anonymize anything except the to,
from, and reply-to headers. All the other info is exactly as it appeared
in the bounce I received.
How do I set the "user part of the envelope sender" in the CGI script?
Is that what I should do? The sender will most likely not be an account
on the machine (as it is someone filling out a form on the web).
