'helohost' defaults to 'me', so I don't think that's the problem. I'm not sure how to parse the original email, but I think the problem is in the mail headers, not the envelope, in which case the MTA is probably at fault. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SoftLock.com is now DigitalGoods!

Are you sure its not an MUA configuration issue? For example, if you use mutt to send mail to "user", it will inject it with "mutt@hostname" by default. What MUA are you testing with? Is mail being injected into the queue directly, or through qmail-smtpd, or what?
