and sent to my incoming server by an unknown box or process. I can
reasonably call that box or process the "sender".
A message has 7 sources of information that are variously referred to as
describing where a message came "from". One of those sources
(rfc2822.Received)
can be repeated and one (rfc2822.from) may have multiple values.
Exactly which value of exactly which field or command are you referring to?
And how does your desire related to the current *SP specification, which
explicitly calls for using the value(s) in the rfc2822.From field?
I'd also like to see the words "Domain", "Message" and "Policy" but
I'll settle for "Sender Signing Practices" if that makes everyone else
happy.
Since the word "sender" is demonstrably ambiguous, why do you prefer it?
