Sorry (newbie! - I feel quite embarrased now) I lost you on this one.
It came bundled with the SLES media (CD's), which were installed on our
servers. I do not know exim, qmail. We have postfix installed (also
bundled with the media)
postfix-2.1.1-1.17
I am trying to read as much as I can about mailing, but I still have a
lot to learn.

I am not sure. Will I see this in the header ? When I open the
header, I find:
From: "root" <dirkm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Does this help ? I am still learning about all the terms - return
path, from address, rcpt (recipient), headers, envelopes, etc.

The REPLYTO is sent to the script via a parameter (+ACQ-5), which is then
assigned to the variable REPLYTO.
