Replacing the asterisks and the elements of the subscriber's address in the
return path with an alphanumeric subscriber ID would get rid of the unex-
pected characters and also decrease the length.
It would also reduce the panicking when an MUA presents a post with no From:
header (or whose From: header has been disconnected into the body) to the sub-
scriber as coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Maybe in extreme cases it's not so far out an idea.
