Use of NULL envelope sender is generally recommended to prevent mail loops

Unfortunately, many servers out there reject emails with NULL sender.
Some recent examples (real server names edited) :

... while talking to antispam1.*.ca.:
 >>> DATA
 <<< 550 Empty envelope senders not allowed

... while talking to smtp.*.net.:
 >>> MAIL From:<> SIZE=1096
<<< 550 5.1.0 <> Blank From: addresses are not allowed. Please provide a valid From: IB501 <http://x.co/srbounce>

... while talking to spam.*.edu.cn.:
 >>> DATA
 <<< 553 Requested action not taken: NULL sender is not allowed

... while talking to mail.*.co.kr.:
 >>> MAIL From:<>
 <<< 501 bad sender address expression.

... while talking to antispam.*.com.:
 >>> MAIL From:<>
 <<< 501 Syntax error in address
