I like that far more than anything else suggested.

Man, you really got gyped. ;-) There's a rumour going around that
it's actually possible to commit without being in the avail file.
Talk to Robert Baron for more info. ;-)

Who knows. It really only matters for the cases where From: and
Return-Path: are different. I suppose it's probably correct to take
the Return-Path: .... WTF is strlcpy()?

(RFC 822: Return-Path: "definitive ... route back to the message's
originator"
From: "the identity of the person who wished this message to
be sent."
)
