Exactly.  That is why the sendmail at en5.engelschall.com is broken.  That

Received line as well as a "helo" name.  For it not to do so makes it a 
cloaking device.

War is an ugly thing, but it is not the ugliest of things. The decayed and 
degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is 
worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to 
fight, nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety, is a 
miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made so by the 
exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill
