Redirect Mailet bug

[Jeff Keyser <JK...@telocity.com>]

I just discovered a bug in the Redirect Mailet when creating a Redirect rule
that is non-static and uses a sender of "sender."  In this situation, when
James connects to the next SMTP server to deliver the e-mail, it reports an
empty sender of the message.  Unfortunately, the "SenderInFakeDomain"
matcher of my other James server is catching these messages, and then
trashing them as spam.

I also think it's strange that if I use the same rule but mark it as static,
it tags all mail as coming from the postmaster.  Is this intentional because
the sender will change from message to message?

I'll let Daniel speak for what's happening with the Redirect Mailet, but 
the SenderInFakeDomain shouldn't match on a null sender.  The null 
sender support was recently added, and this matcher wasn't patched yet 
to behave properly in this case.

Actually, I just checked the code and the matcher was patched to handle 
the null sender, but with the wrong behavior.  Now if the sender is 
null, the mailet does not match...this is now changed in CVS.

yes. originally it would've been blank, in a "not working" way, it was
patched to use postmaster instead.
