Re: "!" action isn't changing envelope sender

More information: Matt Garretson wrote to me, if I understood him correctly,
that when he forwards mail in his .procmailrc the envelope is rewritten to
name the forwarder if the message came from outside his system but not if it
came from within.

I seem to be seeing the same test, but it compares the forwarding point to
the forwarding destination (they're on the same machine) rather than to the
origin point.  It does seem to be something within the MTA: a redirect to
a local address retains the envelope sender while a redirect elsewhere re-
writes it.  There must be some logic to it, but I don't grasp it fully.
