I'm looking at the code, and I see that this generation of Delivered-To seems to be 
special. Other places generate that header use this:

        /* Set the Delivered-To: header */
        if ( strcmp( address, bounce) == 0 ) {
            snprintf(DeliveredTo, AUTH_SIZE, 
                "%sDelivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]", getenv("RPLINE"),
                 TheUser, TheDomain);

What's wrong with using this way all the time? Is it because it's a catch-all address? 
Is there anything wrong with just [EMAIL PROTECTED] in this special case?

Thanks for your help!
