I hope that you are keeping track of the problematic domains and trying
to contact the people whose email is causing a problem. I know that
there is some ickiness in my headers that would require changing email

I would rather change clients than to cause problems for this fabulous
free resource and its generous hosts. Please let me know if my header
ickiness is causing a problem. Thanks!
