Thanks
I already contacted the organization and they replied: your server is
not under our control, so therefore we will not put it in our SPF
records (...). Check of the actual spf records reveals that microsoft, 2
/16 subnets, a few ISPs and a couple of others are already in there.
Must be a very powerful organization to control all these.
Mlmmj as-is doesn't appear to have a way to *rewrite* headers. I can
delete and insert headers no problem, but nothing in the way of
rewriting or variable substitution on headers.
I just had a look at the sources. Hacking support for this into
mlmmj-process.c/do_all_the_voodoo_here.c looks doable.
