Actually, NO. The message YOU received came through the procmail list, so
the ENVELOPE From (the From without a colon) should be the sender, in the
case of this list:
From procmail-bounces(_at_)lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE Mon Jul 21

(example timestamp, not necessarily your message)
NOTE: This procmail log is being processed on my local machine. I fetch
mail from the server using fetchmail
AHA. Something you excluded from your original post. Fetchmail is very
likely causing the 'swebb' stuff to be inserted by your local MTA because
it's introducing the message to the MTA while running as user 'swebb'.
I have been happily using fetchmail for some years and I do not see this
problem. However, I run fetchmail with the 'invisible' option set.
Perhaps Steve should try that?
Fetchmail can be useful to consolodate mail from other places, but it is
still a mail kludge.
A little harsh perhaps? :-)
Cheers,
Nick.

as a vampire!
