Exactly! That is the whole point.  I have said this before, and will
likely say it again many times before it sinks in: if you have a
registered domain name in your From: line when going through Sun, then
people WILL be able to reply to it.  All those people whining about
unreplyable mail should instead complain about people who have NOT
registered their domains, or do not send valid From: lines to us.

It is hard for me to justify spending time on something just because
our competitors are too lazy to follow the standards.
