I agree the other headers shouldn't be there -- but most mail clients can't
filter on the LACK of a mail header. So if the purpose is to differentiate
admin messages at the client level, this might be RFC compliant but doesn't
solve the problem.

That's easy in procmail. In most gui clients, it's impossible.
