Mark,
	Why should you ever reject it because of a bogus Mail From field?
All you do by that is make sure the receiver doesn't get the mail.  Of all
the parties involved, the receiver is the one that can't possibly be at
fault, so why limit the sevice you provide him?  I agree that bells and
wistles should go off all over the place, but not at the expense of delivery.
