Yeah, and this way I'm not spamming my password every few minutes (the pair account doesn't have ssl email options, though the tech support guy was sympathetic and agreed with me that it would be a nice feature). The main nice thing about using fetchmail is that, if your ISP suddenly decides to hate you or something, you don't need to worry about lost email. Then again, that's why I'm in the process of arranging for a backup MX ... <snip> > > Are you able to edit a .forward or .procmailrc file for this account? > If so, I've provided a sample recipe that forwards messages with the > original envelope sender.

Furthermore, after examining the message under a microscope, I have concluded that the only field with the original sender's address is the 'From' field. So ... I guess I will email them, but my expectations of them fixing this is low.
