NotifySender notifies the postmaster instead?

I'm using the NotifySender mailet (James Version 2.1.2); I noticed that it
replies to the James Postmaster instead of replying to the sender of the
original mail.

In fact, inside the service method I found the following lines:

        //Create the list of recipients in the Address[] format
        InternetAddress[] rcptAddr = new InternetAddress[1];
        rcptAddr[0] =
getMailetContext().getPostmaster().toInternetAddress();
        reply.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, rcptAddr);

Shouldn't instead the third line be:

        rcptAddr[0] = mail.getSender().toInternetAddress();

? Or Is it the expected behaviour?

Thanks,

Vincenzo

Hmm, now I've seen that it is sent correctly to the original sender:

        //Create the list of recipients in our MailAddress format
        Set recipients = new HashSet();
        recipients.add(mail.getSender());
        ...
        //Send it off...
        getMailetContext().sendMail(notifier, recipients, reply);

so it's the visible TO field that is set to the postmaster.

Sorry. Anyhow, wouldn't it be less confusing for the original sender to see
its own address in the TO field?

Thanks again,

Vincenzo
