Yes, it does, or rather, it matters that I know whom I'm addressing
when I write this *reply* message. I want to know if I'm addressing
the same person that I addressed in the previous message regarding
the same matter, or if I have to describe the entire problem once
again, which is often the case with e.g. tax authorities
I wouldn't compare naming authorities with tax authorities... :-)
After all the latter category costs you a *lot* more money
than the former category... :-(
As I said - I have no problems using a function alias as a technical
means of reaching you, and the mail alias is an important way of
signalling which hat I want you to wear when you read the message,
but I want to know with whom I'm dealing.
OK, clear.
Besides, the standards require that when the From: line differs from
the e-mail address of the person who sent the mail, a Sender: line
be present. And that's the case in all mails with hostmaster@localhost
in the From: line. That's what we call "implicit identification".
True. My mail agent unfortunately filters this out (my fault, my
problem), therefore I missed this information
Ah, I see. Anyway, all messages about this issue were sent by
undersigned, but I would like to emphasize again that they were
sent in the function of NL Naming Authority and therefore should
not be (mis)taken as my personal opinion.
