It's just an old habit.  When I learned SQL I was taught (mostly from the big 
SQL books) and of course the little black book of normalization, _Handbook of 
Relational Database Design_ that table columns should try to be unique yet 
understandable.

Hmm that is a good point.  I think I will take a closer look at the headers to 
see which to parse up.  Certainly From, but also maybe Subject and the IP 
information from the last Received header...  That should be enough to start 
with and yet have a wide variety of data to choose from.  Now I've got 
another table brewing, one with the msgid and the from, subject and last 
Received: header data.  :-)

... maybe we should start whitelisting known good SMTP servers.  <joke/>

You're of course 100% correct.  :-)

Yes.  I think that SA's auto-whitelist works similarly.  Of course if you're 
running IMAP the converters aren't so important.  :-)
