So, assuming that the http:// links that appear here are part of the 
presentation of the headers to you that your webmail system is giving you, and 
that they are not actually in the underlying mail, it appears that both the 
envelope and header sender addresses here are jtaylor at cjt-design.com? Isn't 
that what you wanted? The only place that dedicated.stonecabin.net appears is 
in the Received: header, which is the right and proper place for it to be 
because that's the real hostname of the server. What is it that you wanted to 
be different?

Paul.
