XMail. Mlmmj is invoked from a script that sets $SENDER, $RECIPIENT and $EXT. Yes, $EXT is set wrong (to "mates"). I didn't realise mlmmj uses the environment, only Return-Path and Delivered-To - for the docs.

Just tried with ezmlm, indeed DJB worked around this by fixing the fields to three and using dots to separate everything else, EG return.*, sc.*, get.*.

Nit: mlmmj-recieve.1 must mention -e. Gave up and now use '+' like everybody else.

BTW: Will there ever be a transition period to mlmmj-receive? Yes, I know. :-)
