Well, as far as I can tell from my experiments, Squish uses the primary
address for that.

I couldn't get it to forward a solitary netmail message from someone else
(it says "not forwarded" - no idea why), but anyway, if it can do
the previous from the primary, it can do this from the primary too!

Which is how Tobruk works.  That was the main reason I held off making this
version of Tobruk 1.00.  I'll have to fix a couple of niggly things and
release 1.00 I think.  BFN.  Paul.
