OK, I see what you are saying now, and think it's a good idea. I had
mistakenly thought you were advocating letting the user determine
where auto-replies would be directed through a header, instead of
always replying to the envelope sender address.

Does the following jive with what you had in mind?

Change TMDA so that if an incoming message contains an ``X-TMDA-From''
header, it will CONFIRM_APPEND that address instead of the Return-Path
address when the message is confirmed.

Also, change TMDA so that it checks the address in ``X-TMDA-From''
against FILTER_INCOMING along with the envelope sender, From and
Reply-To.

Essentially this just gives the user a mechanism to specify what
address he prefers be whitelisted.

This should allow me to send fully 'dated' mail if I want, yet still
get ``[EMAIL PROTECTED]'' added to other TMDA user's whitelists. Now
the problem discussed in FAQ 4.5 is a non-issue.

``X-TMDA-From'' is just an example name, it could be made more general
so that other C/R systems could adopt it.

What do others think of the idea?
