Well, for what it is worth, I agree with you: the MLM is in error on
this one, IMO. But I'm not sure you have much choice, since in my
experience complaints to MLM ops about this kind of thing don't
usually result in much happening...
BUT... make sure it _is_ 'sender', though: I've had this problem with
MLMs in the past where the MLM is actually using the SMTP wrapper ID,
and not anything in the message itself, as the verification address,
and when I switched from having the SMTP address be my 'sender'
address to being the 'from' address, the problem went away.
