Hmm, I *think* the From: address is already correct, I set it in VM. I
sent my earlier mail from my Debian box (this one's not though), so you
might could tell from that. I'd look myself but apparently I was
unsubscribed to debian-user recently (I just noticed, I thought traffic
was just real low but turns out I was only getting messages cc'd to other
lists). (Which also means I've missed any responses not cc'd to me, but
I've resubscribed now).

A local expert tells me that bounced mail doesn't go to the From: address
but to some other thing set by the MTA. I've tried sending mail to bad
addresses and I get nothing back. So something's wrong.

Thanks much,
 Havoc Pennington
