Showing some logs is always a good idea. If some implementation of BATV
isn't working, other people might be interested too.

BATV doesn't 'forge' or 'obfuscate' the envelope sender. When using the
simple private signature (prvs) the local-part can easily be detagged by
skipping the first 12 characters.

Well, at least the people at backscatterer.org think so. That's probably why
they blacklistet you (assuming netin.com is the domain you are talking
about).
