Synonyms and auto-replies

A couple of months ago there was a long thread discussing the problem of synonyms not being used by auto-replies.  A solution was found, or so we thought.  The problem was that the From: header in the auto-reply was populated with localusername@domain.com rather than domainusername@domain.com.  It was apparent that the synonym files was ignored by the auto-reply process (triggered by a FORWARD file).  Removing the local user entries from the MercuryD configuration appeared to have solved the problem but the problem is back for me.  The only change I can think of is switching from MercuryC to MercuryE.  Does anyone know if or why this change would affect this behavior?

Edit: I got it working again on auto-replies but not on auto-forwards generated by a FORWARD file.  The emphasis during the previous discussion on this topic was to get the From: header correct in the auto-replies.  I don't recall that the Resent-from: header in auto-forwards was given much attention so it may have never worked.  It is of low importance so I consider this problem fixed.
