Ok, so a follow-up...

What types of legitimate messages use null sender? Is it only DSN type 
messages? Someone else (Marrco?) said that Return receipts & vacation 
messages(?) do this (I don't think a proper vacation autoresponder does 
- I'll have to  look at one of ours)? What about things like meeting 
requests/confirmations/changes? I certainly wouldn't want to block 
those, or legitimate DSN messages.
