Thanks also for the information about multiple From addresses... in the
15+ years I've been in IT and managing email, I'd never seen messages
with
multiple From addresses before.
I recall discussions either here or on some other list where spammers were
using multiple From: header entries to try to get past. One would have
your address, or at least your domain, which they hoped would be the one
to show up in your mail client so you would trust it, and hopefully, the
filter would look at the other one so it wouldn't block the email because
it was from your domain.
Hmm, there is a difference between:
a) a message with multiple From header lines (each having one or more
addresses)
b) a message with only one From header line, which contains multiple
addresses
a) is not standards compliant, while b) is.
I assume the original poster was discussing variant b) while you talk
about variant a), correct?
