RE: [vps-mail] Procmail rule help

["Jim Smith" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I solved the mystery this morning but it opens more questions for
future filtering. I noticed in the log file that the wellsfargo.com stuff is
showing up there as coming from devel_adm_mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx That
graphnet.com address doesn't show up anywhere in the headers. I'm not sure I
understand (1.) where the log file gets devel_adm_mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx if it is
no where in the headers, and (2.) why my rule (* ^From.*wellsfargo.com)
wouldn't catch it from the headers. 

Hmmm... One more question that might be revealing. Do some email software
programs (Outlook for example) translate the headers rather than displaying
them all? I just noticed that the headers attached to this email have no IP
numbers in them. This email was sent to me as an attachment by the client so
I assumed that the headers hadn't been modified (I know my client doesn't
know how to modify them). Does MS sanitize the headers or something? If this
is true, is there a way to instruct a client to send un-munged headers? (I
thought attaching the offending email to a new one should accomplish that).

Thanks,

Jim Smith
