NO_DNS_FOR_FROM

[Alan]

Julian & Matt,

I never did have a chance to try manually adding in Julian's patch to move
the 'Envelope From' header to the top of the headers. But today I saw that
Julian had added that patch to the stable release, so I went ahead and
installed it and tested this rule.

And, for the first time since SA3 was released, I'm again getting hits on
the 'NO_DNS_FOR_FROM' rule!

So, bottom line to get this rule working is MS 4.35.9 or newer must be
installed, and you MUST set 'Envelope From Header = X-Envelope-From:' in
MailScanner.conf.

SA3 will ONLY recognize the from header 'X-Envelope-From:' and it will ONLY
accept it at the top of the headers.

Perhaps there should be an FAQ entry explaining this, or better yet a
comment in the MailScanner.conf dialog immediatly above the ''Envelope From
Header =' setting.

Anyway, thanks to both of you for helping me get this rule working again!

-Alan
