imho protecting a customer using such a setup would require to
strip some headers. Do you do that, or how do you solve this
problem? Imho the customer needs to properly adjust his fetchmail
settings in order to prevent this. I don't exactly see now what
I could do to help him there.
Fwiw, our own servers passed the "ORBS test" last I looked...
