The MLM is just plain broken. It's entirely legitimate for the Sender: not
to match the From:, and if they disagree, the From: is one to pay attention
to. This happens both for people like you and me who use a unique address
per list, and for people who have multiple accounts but use a single e-mail
address. For example, when I'm travelling, I use my laptop to dial into IBM
(now AT&T's) network, so the Sender: from my laptop would be [EMAIL PROTECTED],
but the From: is still me.
