Lookup the Proper Sender Address

How come my sender address exception/filter doesn't work? How do I find the correct sender address?

GWAVA reads the routing sender address field of the email, which is often different than the sender that is displayed in your GroupWise inbox.  Make sure that you have the routing sender address when you create your exception/filter, otherwise your entry will not work.

You can often read the Return-Path: field to find the sender address that GWAVA reads for scanning through GroupWise.  However, this can be easily spoofed, and most likely is inaccurate if the sender is a spammer.  You can also find the sender address by examing the mail through QMS.
