I'm not entirely sure how to do that; I'm a gui guy, primarily.

Well, that's my main question: Postfix, when sending the mail, is
changing the Return-path header, and I don't know how to tell it not
to. I don't think I can fix this in Formail, when Postfix is changing
it after it leaves Formail's (and Procmail's) hands. But I barely know
what I'm doing, so I could easily be wrong.

Yeah, but we're talking about .Mac here, so I doubt that applies.

Thanks,
