Jon,

I distinguished use from source. How it is used, versus where it comes
from. RFC2821 specifies both of these. My observation about the
RFC2821/RFC821 error is the first. The second remains unchanged.

It is a simple fact of the real world that a handling return address is
not in any way required to specify the author or sender of the message.
