Oh, that was quick. I'll kill my half-finished mail, 
but I'd like to add that the "offensive sender" here is the 
*envelope sender* address, not the header from: address
(they may be identical but that's not necessary), and 
modifying the envelope sender is harder than using 
a different from: address.
