Well, the "log" option is supposed to log the address to which the
autoreply transport sends the message, which is why you are seeing this
effect. There isn't an option for "log the sender of the original
message whose arrival triggered this autoreply", which seems to be what
you are trying to achieve.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it seems to me as if 'nobody' *is* the
true recipient of the message that the autoreply transport is sending.
