Agreed, however it is in this case NOT doing JF as told, and that is why
I'm bringing the matter up in the list. ;)

<snip>
# Verify the header sender
warn verify = header_sender/defer_ok
           set acl_m_hdrSndrVfc = passed
</snip>


Instead of setting a variable upon passing, or skipping it is dying and
providing
"421 Unexpected failure, please try later" to the sender

and

"2011-06-22 11:02:24 [10477] 1QZOwg-0002iz-Ix string_sprintf expansion
was longer than 32768" in the panic and main log.
