it doesn't matter to the receiving system... it matters to the sending
system... storing this information in the message or packet allowed the system
to have it handy when rescanning the outbound to qualify mail... the problem
was that it wasn't zeroed out when the packet was sent... one reason for not
zeroing it out was if the packet didn't go after being qualified, that
information was lost...
in this day in time, cost is generally always zero...
