Here is an example header:

   Received: from radicalmedia.com (radicalmedia.com [204.254.246.2])

Notice that I received two (2) copies of this email: one (1) original,
and one (1) sent back through owner-amanda-users AT amanda DOT org *AFTER*
radicalmedia.com _added_ their own spamassassin headers.

The real problem that I have with this is twofold:

[1] There is absolutely *NO* good reason for anybody to re-send spam and
virus/worms to this mailing list!

[2] By mangling the original message, radicalmedia.com makes it more
difficult for my own spam and virus processes to properly handle these
kinds of message.

So, I repeat, please, *STOP* this inconsiderate behaviour!
