It's not a problem of not matching the sender, it's a problem of having a
'From:'  field that  makes no  sense, syntactically  speaking. When  this
happens,  the NJE  origin is  usually a  gateway and  cannot be  used for
anything. So, LISTSERV  can either throw the message away,  or process it
with  a  warning  and  set  the origin  to  something  else  (preferrably
something valid  and belonging  to a  human being). If  it's sent  to the
LISTSERV  userid  it is  thrown  away,  if it's  sent  to  a list  it  is
processed.
