[Mimedefang] Header extraction question

2009-10-10 Thread NFN Smith
Is there a way of extracting headers of a message in mimedefang? What's up is that for messages submitted by my local users (authenticated connections), I'd like to get to the contents of User-Agent and X-Mailer headers. Initially I want to just do logging for some statistical analysis, but

I'm in the process of upgrading several servers from MD 2.51 to 2.57. The servers are Debian Sarge, running sendmail 8.13.8, and the 2.57 installation was done by Debian package, taken from the Testing branch. As far as I'm aware all the MD config settings on each server are identical, and we
