   Don't try setting "BSMTP-No-RFC822" to "true"!  I decided to test and
found out that any mail processed by MAILER will be delivered to the
"RCPT TO:" recipients in the BSMTP without any RFC822 header information
except:
Dummy: Dummy header

   When set to "true", it does indeed ignore RFC822 headers.  In neither
case does it use the RFC822 header to build a recipient list.  A piece
of mail with an invalid "To:" address in the RFC822 header but with valid
"RCPT TO:" addresses in the BSMTP envelope will generate an error
message even in the case where the invalid address was not on the local
host.
