Yes, that solved the problem. It's an acceptable hack for my
machine, for exactly the reason you suggest (actually, I do
serve mail for a small number of friends and family members,
but the account in question was one of my own, and its
password is disabled -- I can only log in to that account by
su'ing from root).

Could the "condition" router option be used to check the
actual envelope From rather than the sender?

Thanks again for the quick help.
