    Simon> 2.2 E-mail Based RR Owner Name

1. The distinction or connection between header From: and the envelope
   ("envelope sender" taken from the SMTP MAIL command?) seems unclear
   or confusing.

2. Is it wise to use either header-sender or envelope-sender
   information?  They often differ and are both subject to being
   rewritten between the the originating sender and the ultimate
   receiver.
