Ah! now that's not wot it sez in my SP help! I'm a version or two behind
(1.583) and the help only mentions the From: header. Certainly I did try
some time ago to whitelist on the Reply-To: header but it didn't work. I
even wrote to suggest just that feature, but didn't know it had been
implemented. 

So, perhaps it's time to accept the update that Spampal offered a couple
of days ago. That will let me tidy things up significantly. 

Thanks,
