Sounds like a feature not a bug :)
Yep. The bug here is people using POP as a mail transport protocol. It's not. It's a mailbox retrieval protocol. Putting a messaging into a mailbox loses its envelope address information. Sure, you can hack the header to retain that information, but it's a dreadful non-standard hack. If you really must use POP to retrieve multiple users' mail, use multiple mailboxes and query 'em all. Better still, use a real transport protocol. SMTP with ETRN or dial-up triggering strikes me as a *much* better (if not perfect) solution. -- don --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
