Interestingly, my MUA (Opera) displayed both of those From headers, But I  
can quite well understand that many other MUAs don't, and even where they  
do I would expect many phishees would  not notice the second one.


  Authentication-Results: dkim.winserver.com;
    dkim=pass header.i=mipassoc.org header.d=mipassoc.org header.s=k00001;
    adsp=none author.d=whitehouse.gov signer.d=mipassoc.org;

And for ADSP, our verifier picked up the first (top) 5322.From domain
as well.   Since I whitelist mipassoc.org, I get all its output.

Mind you, that I had to do this twice to get a copy because I had
already added a multiple 5322.From rejector script at the SMTP DATA
session. I had to turn it off and repeat it to get a copy that I see
here from spoofed "President Obama".

So the 5321/5322 filtering layer approach works fine (but we lose
interesting mail <g>). But I would not have done this if I was not
made aware of this problem by Alt-N who discovered this security hole.

And that is the main gist of this, and I don't care how the IETF cats
wants to do this:

     Engineering AWARENESS must be added to the 4871bis.
