Oooops!
I was just thinking about this fix I introduced, and while it does work
against blank lines, it does not work against lines that contain only
control characters. Anyone got any better ideas?
Besides, If someone was good enough to have installed the *check* mail
hooks on the initial relay host, we would have a semblance of the original
sender in the headers (a semblance to recognize a possible IP spoofing)
