This summary is not complete.

A list of designated domains can optionally indicate the following:

  - The 2822.From is valid when signed by a designated domain.

  - The domains authorized to sign for the 2822.From domain when  
Exclusivity flag is set.

  - When the list is empty and the Exclusivity flags is set, that no  
mail is sent from the domain.
