- header-from address identical to header-to address
(incidentally, I've had 2 cases where a 'vacation'
message was seen as spam, because the remote user
had pre-filled the To: line with his own address);
I've seen that used in (frex) party invites, where
the bulk of the recipients were BCC'd but the sender
wanted something to put in the `To:' line and used
their own address. Not the kind of thing I want to
discard really 1-)
That's a matter of taste. :-) But my description
already implies that I log things, so I can always
find out afterwards (though perhaps too late ;-))
that a message was 'real'.
[a meta-point: can we get away from the habit some
people have of CC'ing the sender of a message when
replying to the list? I receive the list and I don't
need duplicate copies of responses to my postings to it.]
It's very common and automated to do this. In this
case the mail goes to you though and the Cc to the
list. But majordomo can add a Reply-To: line. Even
that gives no guarantee though: I've seen lots of
people (or mailers?) ignore it and instead reply
to the sender.
