D'oh. I always saw the mail after it had gone through the gateway and
(foolishly) thought that MTA's aren't meant to re-write headers like
that.
Thanks. Pass the hat.
(P.S. can someone with root on freefall fix this? I would, but I'm
currently experiencing 50% packet loss to the end of my ISP's
T1, let alone to freefall :-( ARGH. The patch at the end of this
mail should do the trick I think (to be applied to the freefall.mc
file and then the .cf file rebuilt ...) )
For those who want an explanation of what my patch does, either read
the Sendmail book from O'Reilly, or ask me nicely.
