    Comment:
More correct assessment and assignment of problem.
    Changes:
             summary changed from Respooling with FromRepository bypasses DNS RBL checks to Respooling with FromRepository bypasses DNS RBL checks when used with MBOX
             description changed from FromRepository works with Mail objects constructed by the MailImpl(MimeMessage) constructor.  That constructor sets the sender based upon the Return-Path header, but does not set the remote host.  It probably shouldn't in all cases.

Something needs to be done, though, so that respooling doesn't skip DNS RBL checks. to When used with the mbox repository format, FromRepository works with Mail objects constructed by the MailImpl(MimeMessage) constructor.  That constructor sets the sender based upon the Return-Path header, but does not set the remote host.  Respooling will therefore bypass DNSRBLs.

Unclear if mbox should attempt to set the remote use from the topmost received header.
             priority changed from Major to Minor
             Component changed to MailStore & MailRepository
             Component changed from Mailet API

Description:
When used with the mbox repository format, FromRepository works with Mail objects constructed by the MailImpl(MimeMessage) constructor.  That constructor sets the sender based upon the Return-Path header, but does not set the remote host.  Respooling will therefore bypass DNSRBLs.

Unclear if mbox should attempt to set the remote use from the topmost received header.
