Hi all!

I'm finishing up on updating MDaemon to the latest draft today.  This 
document has come a long way since the first one I saw.

The only issue I have is 2.1 where it says "to determine who sent the 
message".  Is this intended to mean "the author of the message content" 
or "the machine which is transiting the message to me" or "the PRA" or 
any/all of these?

Here is an example from my latest code which came my way today:

Authentication-Results: c3po.altn.com
	spf=pass smtp.mail=x at x.com;
	sender-id=pass header.from=x at x.com;
	x-ip-ptr=pass dns.ptr=a.x.com (ip=1.2.3.4);
	x-ip-helo=pass smtp.helo=a.x.com (ip=1.2.3.4);
	x-ip-mail=pass smtp.mail=x at x.com (ip=194.211.33.82);
	x-vbr=pass header.vbr-info=x.com (vbr.emailcertification.org certifies 
all mail from x.com);
	dkim=pass header.d=x.com (1:0:good);

You can see that making use of the x- capability is a welcome addition 
for me.
