That is a rather arbitrary definition.

Which From address do they mean? The Envelope-From or the From
you see in the headers? If they check the Envelope-From (which
would be the more sensible option), make sure the Envelope-From
is on your domain but set the normal From you see in the headers
to whatever you like. You should be able to do that on MX using
the failto attribute.
