The messages are sent with a From: postmaster@??? header and, if I
understand this correctly, the line

require verify = sender

which is part of the RCPT-time ACL would reject a message that lacked a
From: header, so I thought the 'control=submission' was unnecessary.

I don't understand what you mean by "anyone else out there who also does
the same check" -- would you please try to clarify that for me because
it has me worried. Does adding "accept hosts = 127.0.0.1" incur some risk,
do you think?

I do appreciate your helping me with this very much.
