Hi Igor,

Exaclty it's sieve mails which have the sendmail warning header because of
the use of the "-f" flag, thanks ! I will go and fix my trusted users...

Regards
Marc

Sieve does that.  In this case you need to add the cyrus user to trusted
users list in the MSP config (submit.cf).  Notice trusted users list as
opposed trusted user.  Two different things.

lmtp will tell sendmail that such an address is not there and sendmail
will send a bounce message back to the sender (MSP is not in the loop
here).
