    1.53 +Especially the <TT>map</TT> commands need a closer look. These lines
    1.54 +map local parts of the given address towards a full RFC 822 compliant
    1.55 +email address. <I>map_return_path_addresses</I> does this for the
    1.56 +passed <I>Return</I> address, <I>map_h_from_addresses</I> for the given
    1.57 +<I>From</I> part.
    1.58 +<BR>
    1.59 +But, pay attention! As you can see the strange name <I>gmx_foo</I> in
    1.60 +front of both items has never been seen until now. And in
    1.61 +<I>allowed_mail_locals</I> you see the same item. What about this?
    1.62 +<BR>
    1.63 +An E-Mail will be passed towards the E-Mail provider giving a so
    1.64 +called <I>envelope</I>. This construction envelopes the real E-Mail
    1.65 +and passes important things like the address of the sender and the
    1.66 +address of the receiver to the E-Mail provider. These envelope date
    1.67 +will never be seen again on the receiver's site, because the MTA
    1.68 +running on receiver's host will delete them. But only the envelope is
    1.69 +valid for any MTA distinguishing the route towards the receiver. So,
    1.70 +it must be a valid address.
    1.71 +<BR>
    1.72 +Per default <I>MasqMail</I> uses the current <I>user-name</I> as 
    1.73 +<I>Envelope-From:</I>. If we want to use different E-Mail accounts
    1.74 +with mapping of addresses via the above shown <I>map_return_path_addresses</I> and
    1.75 +<I>map_h_from_addresses</I> we have to to <I>mutilate</I> the envelope
    1.76 +data!  That could be done very easily within <I>mutt</I>.
