This is the expected behavior. The headers of a message (To, From, Subject, etc.) are part of the message's data. SIMS (being an RFC compliant MTA) does not alter message data. In your case, even though messages are delivered to the 'membership' user account, they may have been sent to the address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the envelope recipient <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. In many cases it would be harmful and|or confusing to change either the To header or the envelope recipient and it's not an MTA's job to make that determination. > Can SIMS handle doing whatever is necessary so that these messages > show that they actually are for Membership by changing the To address > so that a reply goes out from the Membership address? No. That is more properly a job for your mail client (MUA). > Or do I have to remember to make sure I reply from the correct > address each time I create a reply. Yes.
