--- Comment #12 from Jim Barry <jim@???> ---
Really quite annoyed to discover that even after rewriting the envelope sender
to pass SPF, GMail still rejects messages with header.from addresses that it
doesn't like. Worse, it issues a temporary error code (421) causing my mail
queue to fill up with forwarded messages that GMail won't accept, but won't
permanently reject either. This is exactly what I was trying to avoid by
implementing SRS.

Also, it seems that SRS is basically a waste of time for my situation. My users
forward their mail to accounts such as GMail that either accept the message or
reject it at SMTP time. There will never be NDR, so there is no need for SRS. A
fixed return path (with an invalid local part) will do just fine.

Now, if I could figure out how to discard the messages that GMail rejects...
anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
