fix: take the sender domain from the address, not the display name
_ADDR_DOMAIN.search() returned the first @domain anywhere in the raw
header text. A display name sits before the angle brackets and is
attacker-controlled, so it won.
Two ways that reached a published report. The sender was misattributed:
"Billing at billing@innocent.example" <phish@sender.example.invalid>
filed the report against a third party who sent nothing. And it defeated
the structural guarantee in sender_domains(): the module reads no
recipient header, but an attacker who writes the victim's own address
into the display name hands it one anyway, and it came back out as a
sender domain.
parseaddr() parses the header grammar rather than scanning it, so a
quoted display name cannot supply the address.
leaky.eml's display name now carries the recipient address. The existing
test_no_ioc_holds_a_recipient_address assertion catches this class; it
was green before only because the fixture used a harmless domain.
