Well, I tried that now, and it doesn't seem to solve my problem.
Perhaps I am botching it somehow. I've included header of one that was
kicked back below. Sorry if this is excessively long.
My username is 'hal', the hostname here is 'hals.box'. My email
address is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (of course). I get a 'BadReturnPath' in the
header if I try emailing myself as a test. The 'From' field seems
correct to me.
