You may be correct as the only time I've fallen victim to this, that I
can remember, was due to mailing list servers or while loading
directly via telnet to a normal mail server's smtp port. I think it
happened here once or twice to a few folk. As a test....
If this is the last sentence in this message it works on this server
and may be something the OP wants to use if it's really a concern.
