well, I am glad that you find that useful. To be honest I also accept
anything authenticated, only that I deal with not that many users, so
I would notice wrong return paths and could pull them by their ears
or kick them out, and in two years we had not a single wrong envelope
sender. But since you presented us with the problem, I think that
I'll implement this on our servers too, before I enforce return-path
