	Interesting.  According to the RELEASE_NOTES, that was added in 
8.7.  Strange that I missed that....

	But then, if you had mail problems inside the firewall, a very 
important diagnostic tool would be taken away from you.

	Moreover, if you had a loop (user A forwards all mail to user B 
who forwards all mail to user C who forwards all mail back to user 
A), by defining this header to be null, you would never break the 
mail loop and you would probably kill the mail system on a fairly 
regular basis.  The more stuff you have behind the firewall (and the 
more users), the more likely that this will be a problem, and the 
more frequent this problem will be.
