I note that gmail appears to insert a Received: line with out
a "from" element, so I can't imagine any penalty will be significant.
I wasn't aware of that. Maybe I'll examine the RFC more closely and
see if that is specifically allowed.
I'll save you the trouble - it is not allowed.
RFC 2821 p51
Time-stamp-line = "Received:" FWS Stamp <CRLF>
Stamp = From-domain By-domain Opt-info ";" FWS date-time
From-domain = "FROM" FWS Extended-Domain CFWS
However, every mail that goes via this mailing list has (e.g.)
Received: by english-breakfast.cloud9.net (Postfix, from userid 54)
id 55AD5C9E23; Wed, 30 Jul 2008 13:26:28 -0400 (EDT)
so, I don't think it is particularly serious :-)
