Hmm.  What happens if you use the web interface (sb_server.py) to set this
option intead?  What do you end up with in your config file?  Note that you
shouldn't use ", " as the separator - it's guessing that " " is the
separator, and that the comma is part of the first two items.  Use " " *or*
",", not both.  This might be the problem, although I suspect not.  The web
interface should get it right, anyway.

Sorry, yes.  Why do you need to use it if you aren't using the POP3 proxy?
It's really better if you use a header instead.

Note that there's a bug tracker open with a summary something like
"hammie.py adds headers differently to other apps".  When that's closed
(which could be a wee way off), then this will also be resolved.
