Hi there!

When fiddling with the mozilla mail client and it's ancestors (since
4.74), i found, that it uses the unofficial XSENDER extension to POP3.

Our POP3 server supports this feature. The following session extract
shows it:

XSENDER 1
+OK 
RETR 1
+OK 484 octets
[ ok, there was no authenticated sender available ]
XSENDER 2
+OK [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RETR 2
+OK 514 octets
[ yes, this is obviously faked :-) ]
XSENDER 4
+OK [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RETR 4
+OK 533 octets
[ and this is a true address ]

There is simply no impact on the UI, no shiny flag, no extra header, no
nothing.
So, what is the use, that Mozilla makes from the reception of an
XSENDER? And how can I see as a humble user, that Mozilla got a
authenticated sender by means of XSENDER?

MTIA!

Yours sincerely

Marian Eichholz
