  18. The proper choices of addresses for authorization checking are all
  19. described in RFC822. Specifically, the Sender: address is used if present,
  20. and failing that the From: address is used.
  21.  
  22. The debug output for the channel shows what addresses are used in great
  23. detail as well. I'll consider adding this information to the response
  24. messages too.
