If there were to be any way to email a person through some sort       of gateway or other, it should probably follow this method. Although, just to       be fair here, the above is also in reverse order, it just also includes a user       name and gateway domain. > Also, there is a bug with the X-SMAPI-From field,       which I will try       > to investigate later       > X-SMAPI-From: Dmitry Protasoff <0:0/0.0> > X-SMAPI-To: Nil A <2:5001/100.1>              I've noticed this as well in the past and never really thought anything of it,       until you brought it up.              Regards,       Nick              ...
