Read this entire thread on -users for background info, but basically
there appears to be a bug in tmda-cgi which causes the wrong address
to be appended to the CONFIRM_APPEND file.  The X-Primary-Address
header is not being honored, so the Return-Path address is appended.  

The user doesn't have this problem when confirming via e-mail.

Sorry for being dense.  I should have done this automatically.

I commented out the drop line, sent a mail to tmdatest, replied to the 
confirmation message and voila!

The correct address IS appended to the tmdatest whitelist:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ cat .tmda/lists/whitelist
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, what I've been seeing is the drop from [EMAIL PROTECTED] rule 
forcing release through TMDA-cgi  and that is what's causing the dated 
addresses to be inserted in the whitelists?

Would it maybe be a better idea to use a different "drop" address for 
each user?  Just thinking as I write here, I'm wondering if I used a 
drop rule based on each individual's e-mail address?  I already (as do 
you) tell people not to whitelist their own e-mail address.  I wonder 
how much of a problem it would be to use

        BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
        from [EMAIL PROTECTED] drop

in my individual config file?  I can pretty easily modify my new_user 
script to do this, if it is a workable idea.

Thanks again, Jason!

Jeff
