Its is, rightly!
Elm, long ago when I last installed it, had a very badly worded
config option that asked whether you trusted the From: headers. If
you answer "no" to that it gives you the enverlope sender rather than
the header sender information.
In today's environment using the info from the From: header is the
only sensible thing to do.

} This is a clever ploy. By registering sphinx as a top level domain, I can

However registering it will either cost you more than 100 quids, or
just result in you disappearing from the DNS universe! You need to
set the system primary name in full :-(
