| That's not the wrong destination. Resent-From: has higher priority than
| From:. Not only is this intentional, but it is 100% correct.
I now remove the Resent, But I'm still puzzled why is that.
The message I sent was
FROM MY UNIVERSITY ACCOUNT ssjaaa(_at_)uta(_dot_)fi
TO MY VIRTUAL WORK
jari(_dot_)aalto(_at_)ntc(_dot_)nokia(_dot_)com
(also as
JAALTO(_at_)ntcclu(_dot_)ntc(_dot_)nokia(_dot_)com)
to local domain
jaalto(_at_)tre(_dot_)tele(_dot_)nokia(_dot_)fi
And when the -rt was used for message that originated from
ssjaaa(_at_)uta(_dot_)fi;
what I got, was a loopback to myself to the work address. The -rt
was supposed to return the message back to
ssjaaa(_at_)uta(_dot_)fi(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)
So why is Resent-From considered higher priority? In this case
the resent-From lies in the middle. Below you see full headers of
the message.
