There seems to be a thread in these interminable threads that RFC2822's
very structure implies that SSP ought to use address XYZ rather than
asking the obvious question of what we want SSP to do _first_. Can
anybody describe what benefit SSP would give if it chose some other
address? Other than supposedly genuflecting to RFC2822?
