This may be due to my bugs 4717 and 4718.  My changes were supposed to 
treat <> properly and predictably, rather than silently ignoring null 
sender as happened previously whenever envelope-from couldn't be deduced 
from the Received: line.  But I have been through some nasty personal 
stuff recently and never got back to the devs' questions about my issues, 
so I think they didn't take the full set of fixes.

If you're only seeing this on startup, Mark, I think it's probably related 
to the formatting of the dummy mails SA uses to initialise everything, as 
I have seen the same thing in our logs when Amavis starts.  If you're 
seeing it on real null senders please let me know.

It certainly shouldn't be so noisy, I'll have a look this evening if they 
let me out of here in time, otherwise tomorrow - can you all wait that 
long ?
