Interesting. 

By reproducing the original problem (WP no longer detects invalid receiver addresses in the editor - fixed now), I also checked the outgoint packet and there is only the all-zeros INTL included. I would suspect that *some other software stumbled upon it and inserted an INTL line*, presumably because the underlying logic is that *old software sometimes does not distinguish between "no value" and "valie, but all zero"*, so reading all zero might lead such software to misinterpret this internally as "no INTL found" and feeling like inserting one based on all known information (default zone and node/net from message header, which is consistently also all zeroes).

Anyway, WP should now again make sure there is a valid address given before sending a netmail message.
