That would imply that injecting a Sender header is no worse than
injecting an Injector-Infor header. For those who are concerned with
spam but not with anonimity, injecting a Sender header is far worse. I
suggest:

        NOTE: Care needs to be exercised, when adding any
non-mandatory
        header in this way, to ensure that the intentions of the
poster
        are preserved. In particular, the addition of a Sender header
        would have privacy implications well beyond those set out in
        6.19.1 regarding the Injector-Info header, e.g., address
harvesting
        for purposes of sending UBE.
