From: vs. Reply-To: for MAIL-FROM checks

I see the the rfc822.pl code doesn't set firstreplyto to zero
if it sees a From: line.  Thus, any subsequent Reply-To: lines
override the entry in the From: line.

Does this make sense for authentication? 

(I'm not sure that either choice here is really satisfactory.)

Why is this request failing? Is your program getting confused by the
"reply-to" field? This request should pass authorization. Please fix this.
