This may falsely imply that multiple mailboxes are disallowed per se, which
they aren't.  However, for both From: and Resent-From: containing multiple

terms of syntax, it's the "Sender:" constraint that isn't met.

Suggested rewording:

        mailboxes where inappropriate or lacks the clarifying corresponding
        Sender: header, ...)
