I think that Sender is a valid header though and is used for legit
purposes like mailing lists. I think that fixing the client is preferable
to hacking the MTA.

Except that Netscape seemed to stopped making non-linux browsers
with Netscape 4. ftp.netscape.com only has linux variants for 6 and 7.
The user who first reported the problem is an Irix user and the latest
