RE: [Sheflug] Reply-To headers this time.

Hi,

are you in Sheffield, or some where near? If you want I could wander round
some time next week and have a look at the set up for you. No promises mind.
I don't know qmail at all. But I've still got my bag packed from a day
trouble shooting and exchange server yesterday so dragging my mail books
over to have a look at your system would be no problem. Plus I've got bugger
all else to do at the moment except go to interviews.
