True. But then under normal circumstance that would have to be ignored as it
would be the name of the senders home computer - which could be anything
(funniest example I saw - WIFE-FROM-HELL - I wonder if she knew ?)
It could well be an idea to change that though just in case
localhost.localdomain is specifically looked for in the filters.
