I think the core of this scholarly discussion is that some of us
believe that an injector should insert a spamable address when, and only
when, hell freezes over. Any other action is going to compromise the
user's privacy, and since we have other headers for accountability in
case of abuse, the sender header should be more clearly defined:
The Sender header is used to indicate the person or software which has
provided the article on behalf of the originator. It is set by the
submitter and MUST NOT by provided or modified by the injector. An
injector which determines that the From and/or Sender header is incorrect
SHOULD reject the article.
If you want to put in a warning that some injectors historically have
modified Sender, that would be a valuable warning to the user.
