The use of the RESENT-FROM header is defined in RFC 822. It is the FROM of a forwarded (redirected) message: ,----- [ 4.4.1. FROM / RESENT-FROM ] | This field contains the identity of the person(s) who wished this | message to be sent. The message-creation process should default this | field to be a single, authenticated machine address, indicating the | AGENT (person, system or process) entering the message. If this is not | done, the "Sender" field MUST be present. If the "From" field IS | defaulted this way, the "Sender" field is optional and is redundant | with the "From" field. In all cases, addresses in the "From" field | must be machine-usable (addr-specs) and may not contain named lists | (groups). `----- Nonetheless, I'm a little confused... the SENT header will be the sender of the original message not you. So why is there a problem filtering? I don't think you should attempt to change the headers but rather modify your filters if they aren't working correctly. If you wish to bring the redirected messages to your wife's attention the RESENT-FROM header will indeed help you. -- .\\artin | ICQ 15893823 "Adventure is the result of poor planning." COL.
