I guess when it comes down to it either could be forged.

If I'm going to block like this, I generally prefer to do it by IP rather
than domain or email... for exactly that reason.

Does fromfile actually use something different than MAILFROM in filter
tests?  I didn't catch that from the manual.

I was going to suggest a fromfile.
One potential problem.. the fromfile would use the enevelope from. In the
case of a virus, I don't know if the envelope from would have the forged
address in it.
You'd have to capture some of the messages to know for sure.
