From article <4291@viscous.sco.COM>, by stewarte@sco.COM (Stewart Evans): > As I understand it, it is proper for transfer agents > to rewrite from: fields so that they point back to > the sender. Is it "proper" to do the same with to: > and cc: fields? It is improper to rewrite any field, except perhaps the "envelope". Just pass the message as it is: if the originating MUA used proper domain addresses, everything will work nicely; any other combination is bound to fail anyhow. The recipient fields in the envelope should only be rewritten if they contain source routes: one should indeed remove references to the local site. Christian Huitema
