Good point. There are actually 3 cases:

Panix's injector knows that I'm sethb@panix.com.

It can assume that I'm _not_ postmaster@panix.com or
BillDavidsen@panix.com (because if I were I could prove it, and I
didn't).

It has no idea whether I'm sethb@sethbreidbart.com.

I can see refusing to inject in the second case; I don't see anything
useful it can do differently between the first and third (unless it's
signing).
