Perhaps I phrased it badly.

I mean to say that it makes as much sense for the domain owner to do
that as it makes for me to object to the exim.org listserver using my
address in the From: headers of the mail it's just about to send out.

If I don't want the exim.org listserver to use my address, I can refrain
from sending mail to the list. It doesn't make sense to do so and then
whinge that I didn't want it using my address.

Indeed, and my original point was that it's also irresponsible to give
the naïve administrator a simple example of how to _obey_ such a foolish
restriction. Which is what Tom's example is.
