Don't know, since I don't do ezmlm.  But it seems very unlikely to be
an ezmlm problem anyway.

Your setup (which I won't repeat here, for brevity's sake) seems
eminently reasonable, and I cannot find any evidence there that would
point a finger at qmail.  So let us return to the headers you quoted:

| Received: (qmail 28924 invoked by uid 894); 11 Mar 2001 14:10:29 -0000

To me, that To: field whose address must surely have come from the
envelope sender, at least shows that the message arrived at iname.net
with the correct envelope sender.  But I'm willing to bet a modest
amount that iname.net mangled the envelope recipient of the bounce
into <0.pps-l-return-64-**CENSORED**[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
with the results you have seen.  At least, that theory is consistent
with everything you have shown us.

There it is, then: Not a qmail problem at all, but some external host
perhaps having troubles coping with an unusal form of email address.
Perhaps a sendmail.cf entry thrown off by the equals sign in there?

If you still have your log files lying around, you might look for
further evidence there, but I really don't think you can blame this on
qmail or ezmlm at all.


Oh, and concerning others' reactions to your hiding the user's
identity: It's just a reflex action, flaming everybody to a crisp who
does header mangling before asking questions.  In 99.9% of all cases
the flaming is fully justified, since the mangling really throws away
useful information.  But I think it's quite clear that this was not
the case here.
