This is a minor tweak of the "authenticated phish via on-behalf-of" proposal.

Spammers can send mail that looks a lot like mailing lists, you know.

 From: Paypal Security <security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

But wait, I have an even better idea, Nobody ever thought of this one!

 From: Paypal Security <security%paypal.com@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

PS: You can safely assume that any possible workaround for mailing
list From: lines has been invented, argued about, and discarded at
least a dozen times already.  The response to pretty much all of them
is that you have to know it's a real mailing list to trust the hack,
but if you know it's a real mailing list, just deliver the fripping
mail.
