OK, then, if you are c(_at_)c(_dot_)com, who is b(_at_)b(_dot_)com?

I originally said:

  In the forwarding case, where

    a(_at_)a(_dot_)com sends mail to b(_at_)b(_dot_)com
                          b(_at_)b(_dot_)com forwards to c(_at_)c(_dot_)com,

  When c.com receives the message, it sees

    MAIL FROM:<a(_at_)a(_dot_)com> SUBMITTER=<b(_at_)b(_dot_)com>

  Due to the nature of the forwarding relationship, b(_at_)b(_dot_)com
  and c(_at_)c(_dot_)com can be said to represent the same entity.
