Hmm.. As far as I can tell, $alternates is not necessary if you only
send with one address. ~P works just fine for me without using
$alternates. I just have my $from set. Of course, most of my mail
goes through one address; I'm sure if I looked at a mail sent from one
of my others, it would not be matched by the ~P rule.
