I think this whole discussion is for nothing.
Considering that rarely people put their address as pretty name you can
allready prefilter emails as spam which have a valid email address as
pretty name.
Maybe you can even consider to mark everything as SPAM which has an @ in
the pretty name.
Or you compare pretty name with addresss when pretty name is a valid
email address.
It think this pretty name discussion should be placed somewhere in a
SPAM Filter forum and not in a SenderID Forum.
I agree with you, but the fact is that Outlook Express displays only the
pretty name as if it is the mailbox address and does not display the mailbox
address (unless an experienced user does some clicks). Therefore SPF Classic
should not look at anything in the RFC 2822 header. This is the task of spam
filters. Maybe a later SPF version can do that -- after Microsoft has fixed
their mail reader programs.
