I don't think that's the case, because when I test (using a non-null
mail from:) i get the same
behaviour...
Can anyone clarify what "fail" does? Does it send to
a) sender
b) sender and postmaster@???
<
mailto:postmaster@recipient.domain.tld>
Hmm!

If `fail text' is resulting in postmaster getting the mail, then
I
assume the spammer is using mail from:<> in which case you will
need to
do something more intricate (or am I wrong?) .
