You're right, for the minority of us who run IMAP.  For everyone else
who uses POP, mailing an ARF report back to the POP server may be the
best we can do.  The authserv-id from RFC 5451 isn't ideal to use as
the mailing address since the RFC says quite clearly that it has to
look like a FQDN but it doesn't actually have to be an FQDN.

If we go down this route, we could probably add a flag to 5451 to
say it's OK to send ARF reports.

R's,
