There is more, but basically it says there may be more than one
address.
Importantly though, it specified that IF that is the case, then the message
MUST have a Sender: field. The idea is that the From: specified message
authorship (think of a technical paper), and the Sender: specified the
INDIVIDUAL party who actually put it into an email and sent it (aka
administrative assistant, though it could be one of the addresses in From:).
While technically correct, I'd say your chances of actually encountering
such a message these days is remote to the n-th power. Email is a very
different beast than it was 20+ years ago.
(gawd, and I was using it 20+ years ago...)
Some procmail pseudo-code for ya:
:0
* MULTIPLE_FROM
* ^Sender:
SPAM
What method are you using to parse out addresses from the From: ?
