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?
