Yeah, like one site that for a while [maybe still] would reject a message 
with a redundant 'reply-to'.  [answer when I complained: tell your 
correspondent NOT to set the reply to, since it doesn't do anything 
[because it matched the 'from']]...  What I did instead was change my MX 
record...:o)

Some of thess adhoc, server 'roll your own' spam filters are REALLY 
cretinous...
