  • Address groups. Full support is provided for RFC 2822 address groups.

  • sendmail hook. A sendmail command is included for compatibility with current user agents.

  • Long header fields. Header line length is limited only by the available system memory.

  • Host masquerading. Local hosts can be hidden behind a public mail relay.

  • User masquerading. Local users can be hidden behind aliases on a mail server.

  • Automatic Mail-Followup-To creation. The Mail-Followup-To header field is used by the author of a message to direct replies to mailing-list messages to the appropriate address or addresses.
