Possibly a configuration option... I'd have to check.
I hope this is addressed by the updated Security considerations
section.

1. As Russ has noted, that may be due to list moderation (or
   filtering) issues.

Using From: <> might be feasible, if the HTTP folks (who would

from HTTP folks (probably not surprising, since to date the draft
