It's debatable, but IMHO if www.newspaper.com sends you email, it should
use an @newspaper.com envelope sender. If I *asked* for the mail, it's
not quite blatant forgery to put my address in the envelope... but I
still think it's dubious.

If I send mail to exim-users@???, it comes back to me with an
envelope sender of exim-users-admin@???. One could argue that the
whole point of MLMs is to change the envelope sender on list posts --
all the rest is frills. ;-)

Sure, I'm paranoid... but am I paranoid ENOUGH?
