I wrote a mail to the list just a couple of hours later, i
came to the very same conclusion as I looked at the
source, and I reconfigured SA accordingly.

Due to historical reasons i couldn't use the default
headers from SA, and that caused this fault.

However, when I have time I'm willing to create
a patch which solves this problem and handles
this case in a more elegant way.

Thanks for your reply and again, thanks for this
very smart piece of code, it helped to handle
spams in a way I never dreamt of while I was
working with other mailers.

Best regards,
Peter
