Why do you say the "Sender:" address is the wrong one? Someone or something inserted the "Sender:" address. There are two options: 1. The "Sender:" address was inserted for a good reason, for instance because the "From:" address is known to be unreliable or not to work. 2. The "Sender:" address was inserted for no reason, simply to sit here decoratively, wearing a big sign saying "I am here but DON'T USE ME FOR ANYTHING OKAY?" Furthermore, this address does not actually work, stressing the fact that its presence is only decorative, not functional. LISTSERV assumes that the address was inserted for a reason. Why do you think this is an unreasonable assumption? Eric
