This problem probably has nothing to do with the choice of MTA, as I'm
using postfix.

I wanted to investigate further so I changed the mailcmd line in
voicemail.conf so that instead of the default "sendmail -t" I have
"sendmail me at mydomain.com"  and the voicemail deliveries came to me
without any errors.  So we are left with two possibilities:-

Voicemail in an up to date CVS is not setting up the header correctly,
the -t option tries to read the recipient from the header and fails.

or

Postfix 2.1 as supplied by Mandrake 10.0 Community is not handling the
-t option correctly.

Does anyone have other combinations of */Postfix/Sendmail that do or do
not work as expected?

This would surely help to track down the problem.
