If envelope-sender address == one of the addresses in .forward, and 
option MeToo is not set in sendmail.cf, message is certainly not sent
to this address. When you set your return address in MS Outlook, you're
actually setting not only address in "From:", but also envelope-sender
address (which your Outlook presents itself with in "MAIL FROM" command,
when talking to your server).
