Re: [AMaViS-user] Mailfrom help

Thank you all.
I'll need to read this over and over again.

I wish that Amavisd's documentation was a little better.
It's really sad that such a GREAT software has very cryptic
documentation, that hinders me from using it to its fullest.

As of now, I'm quite confused by all the different headers which are
added (or not) by mysterious conditions.

Thanks
