Ahh, that explains it.  Thanks for the info.  I might have wasted a lot
of effort on that.  I guess that leaves me with the task of getting
sendmail to add a new header.

According to http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2142

I should use the following in sendmail.cf:

H?l?X-Envelope-From: $f

Is there a sendmail guru who can tell me how to add this to sendmail.mc
so it will appear in sendmail.cf after m4? Thanks,
