Thanks ... Nice page. Not sure I understand why qmail strips out the
`^From ' line though. Necessitating hacks and add on guff, like
`preline'.

Actually that was not the case, although a good guess. It was simpler.
The old `brain dead operator syndrom' . I had a .procmailrc script in
place with a spam filter that was seeing messages to
`[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as spam since it was not to
`[EMAIL PROTECTED]', and placing in a spam.in spool. So exit codes
were being seen correctly.

OOOPS, should have delineated more clearly. I meant:

Yup, more operator error, all messages were nicely filed in a `spam.in' spool.
It seems I've got things working now... With lots of help from this
list. Thanks to all posters.
