I believe it does a DNS lookup on everything after the @ in the envelope mailfrom.
It can false positive for me when the mailfrom uses subdomains.

In general I would term it an effective test, though it doesn't trigger on a lot of spam.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] MAILFROM test


Can anyone tell me more detail about how the MAILFROM test works?  It has
suddenly (June 2) started to catch email that it ignored before. I can't detect any sigificant difference in the headers before and after.
