I just wanted to expand and explain a little.  I'm in complete
agreement with Julian that it's not really within MailScanner's domain
(as MS isn't an SMTP service).  That's why the subject has "OT" in it
(and "slightly" is because MS does do to anti-spam stuff, and because
it's something I thought the sendmail using part of this list might be
interested in playing with, and letting the sendmail and communigate
pro users on the list know that coming versions of sendmail and
communigate pro will support it directly).

I wasn't at all trying to imply that it was something MailScanner
should do.
