I work in Logic.

To protect my work, once I've finished mixing and return the drive to somebody, I bounce the tracks (using bounce in place) to concrete any fx / eq / comps etc onto the tracks.

preferably though, I don't send the session files back at all. nothing worse than somebody making some 'tweaks' to make it 'better' then either:

1) messing it up, yet branding it as your mix, OR
2) saying 'oh I changed it a little so it's my mix now' and not crediting you at all.

my Ts and Cs say 'I'm a mix engineer you send me 40 mono tracks, I send you 1 stereo track. end of.'
