Watermark test working too good

Dan,

Why not have the state library do the right thing? They aren't sending
these as part of the mailing system(s) housekeeping functions, that is
... they're abusing the RFCs in a way, so... Wouldn't it be better to
get them to use a sane sender address? If they are afraid to have to
handle bounces... well, then they shouldn't be using amailing list at
all(!)...:-).

Whitelisting "bad behaviour" == "accepting it"...
Yeah, I know... the users/clients pay the beans, but ... you could at
least ask them:-).

Cheers
