I think Jims telnet experiments will tell us this... One other
possibility, albeit remote (since I do beleive that Jules "sanitizes"
the headers, so that there can only be one X-MailScanner-From: ...),
would be if there is more than one MailScanner involved, thoroughly
confusing matters.

Or perhaps the customer is too lazy to actually get at the headers,
and just "invent" them from what they "think they should be".....:-)

Jim, you should really demand that the customer provide at least one
"problem message" _as verbatim as possible_. Would be a shame to waste
time on something that turns out to be a red herrirng:-):-).
