Um, yes.  I assumed that this was a consequence of the way qmail sends
messages.  I was wondering if anyone had specific experience with this,
if there were qmail settings for this, and if his interpretation of
RFC1123 was correct.

In particular, I was hoping that Ian or Jason might have an idea
about how this relates to the qmail setup on sources.redhat.com.
