Of course not!!!
I was just replying to Lars's comment to filter on '@' to catch ALL messages
... AFAIR the discussion was about a filter that catches every message ... and
there is the theoretical possibility to receive a message without an '@' in
the headers users normally know about ... :-)
OK .. there's a "Delivered To" line I've in all my e-mails but I think this is
mailer-daemon specific :-)

The discussed point even was not to legitimate an email by having a '@' in it,
but to filter the legetimate and move the rest to trash ... but how to catch
"the rest" ... and that was the 'filter on "@"' situation I wasn't able to
shut up silently, but trying to impress with all my knowledge *GGG*
