Why is this happening?  Are you using Sendmail aliases, or the
virtusertable?  TMDA doesn't decide that 'davey' maps to 'www-data';
some other piece of software is changing the envelope recipient before
TMDA sees it.

The only time TMDA looks at the original mail's Return-Path: is when
it writes that address into your CONFIRM_APPEND file.  A different
Return-Path: on the confirmation email will not cause TMDA to send
another confirmation request.  Perhaps there's a different problem?

It's probably because TMDA sets the 'Precedence: bulk' header field.
We may need to re-consider the use of this field, either removing it
entirely or using a different value (not 'bulk').  Jason will have to
make the decision on that.
