- I'll tell you why: because if it doesn't break sendmail (i.e.,
- the domain is stamped by the mailserver so that a recipient can directly
- reply to a mailing from that machine) it just isn't a high priority to
- fix. The only reason I fixed it here is because my braindead mailserver
- *doesn't* stamp domains properly on outgoing mail.

- Why screw with what ain't broken? I've done enough of that to
- know it usually breaks something else that's more critical.
