I asked around on the exim-users list, and exim doesn't rewrite
non-standard headers. Apparently, murphy.debian.org does rewrite the
Mail-Followup-To: header to dfokkema@murphy.debian.org. In other words,
it is qualifying whereas exim ignores it.

I noticed that murphy is running postfix.

About the time I joined this list, I believe there was a discussion
about postfix which I couldn't follow at the time. Does someone care to
tell me what is the _main_ advantage of running postfix instead of
exim3? Does someone care to tell me what is the _main_ advantage of
running exim3 instead of postfix? We're talking woody here...

TIA,
