    Strangeness! I sent the message I am replying to via Postfix (before I
    remembered to switch back to Exim), and it worked.

    The message I am sending now will be with Exim. Maybe postfix was
    working okay after all. The message that bounced was:

    From: Me <Me@desk>
    To: 40119.nospam@comcast.net
    Subject: test
    Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 23:42:00 -0800
    User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.5.1+cvs20040105i
    Message-ID: <20040130074200.GA4110@comcast.net>
                                                                                    
    bleh
    //end

    One worked, one didn't. Probably tripped a virus filter with the test
    message. So I still need to add the "Sender" automatically with
    Postfix, and I don't know how.
