The list server software finds these particular X-headers suspicious,
even though they weren't meant for this server to read. That's still
acceptable if you want to prevent spam...

...but it should be made optional: You should for example be able to
put the OP on a whitelist, or to choose to ignore these particular
X-headers. While they do look suspicious, it has been established that
everything is fine with messages coming from that sender, so without
an option to let his messages through automatically, the list server
software is at fault. IMHO, of course.

Important warning for aircraft pilots: Teeth that have been improperly
filled cause problems with altitude or rapid decompressions. The
higher pressure under the filling will cause excruciating pain and in
rare instances can cause the tooth to explode. An exploding tooth
would be distracting.
