Hello.

A couple of questions.  I just migrated our company over to Cyrus/postfix 
from UW/sendmail and I've noticed a few little quirks that I'm not able to 
find a solution to.

1.)  If a pop user selects "keep messages on server" they start to see 
duplicate emails.  I saw that other people on the listserv have also had 
the same issues, but there's not been any resolution to this issue.  Q: 
How come Cyrus doesn't implement the correct bahaviour, and is there any 
work-around other than switching to IMAP over POP?  I've got pop users 
that can't access IMAP (using phones for checking email when on travel 
with "leave messages on server" then suck down the emails when they arrive 
back at a desktop).  It's not feasable for them to move to IMAP and they 
require this functionality.

2.)  It seems that Cyrus is inserting headers that confuse sendmail and/or 
procmail.  When I'm tailing my procmail log, I see that all emails are 
"From: cyrus at mail".  I'm guessing that procmail is getting this from the 
"Return-Path:" header that doesn't get inserted into the email with 
sendmail.  Q: Can I tell Cyrus to not insert this header or is there a 
work-around for procmail to detect the correct From: header and not get 
confused?
