I am seeing something that is possibly related with the Bynari Outlook 
Connector where I am getting two sender headers, which is not valid.  
This only happens with the Bynari Connector.  The default Kolab Amavis 
configuration bounces emails with invalid headers, so not good.  I have 
changed the amavis configuration to let the emails through, but I am 
getting the occasional bounced email from remote sites because of the 
duplicate headers.

I have the Bynari Connector configured to use the MSA (port 587), which 
is also what Roundcube is using, but Roundcube only has the one sender 
header.  Is that how you have SquirrelMail configured?

A call has been logged with Bynari as well.

I will some more research on this today.
