NO_DNS_FOR_FROM

[Julian Field]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

Ah, in which case I misunderstood one of the previous postings on this.
I thought that as long as the header name was "reasonable", SA would
find it if it was at the top of the headers. I didn't realise it had to
have exactly the right name as well.

Can someone else confirm that I now have this right please?
If so, I will change the default in the supplied conf file, and add a
comment about this requirement.
