"In addition, the ``envelope sender'' data, taken from the SMTP envelope
data where this is available, is looked up. See |envelope_sender_header|."

So it should also, by default, match the Return-Path header.

*HOWEVER* that assumes the header is present at the time of scanning.
Normally this header is not present at the MTA layer. It's a delivery
agent thing.

 Many MTA layer SA integration tools create a fake return-path header
and then remove it.

SimScan (which you appear to use) doesn't do this, at least, the last
person who was asking about the same basic problem (although it was
relating to SPF, it still was failing due to lack of envelope
information at scan time).

You might be able to use the same solution he did, which patches qmail
to add the envelope-from information to your Received: headers.

qmt already comes with the SPF patch..So what's missing ?
