Commenting out the section in Message.pm has eradicated the from and 
to envelopes.

I don't think I have / had two MailScanner.conf files I have always 
used the RPM releases to upgrade, as far as I know the conf is 
located at /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf.

It seems it all started when I was getting double messages and it was 
suggested I should use flock instead of posix for locking. My 
Sendmail is 8.12. Could be a coincidence :-)

Many thanks for your most valued help it is appreciated.
