Mark-

Since you're working on 2.11.0, would you take a look at this and see if it is indeed a bug that could be fixed in 2.11.0 or if I've missed something?

Thanks-

Tom

> So it's always sent from a null sender.  The releasing code only checks the headers of the message for an Return-Path or X-Envelope-From header.  It doesn't even default to using mailfrom_to_quarantine, so setting that doesn't do any good either.
