Thanks,

It's curious that there had been so many from .br domains that I had 
supposed it to be some kind of local custom - analogous to the way 
that many Chinese MTAs seem to reject "mail from:<>" out of hand.  
But I hadn't done any kind of statistics - this was just based on 
seeing what was flying past our mailer.

The most recent example seen here was planetaeducacao.com.br, here's a 
test to confirm it:

 RCPT to spoofuser was refused:
 450 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 
 User unknown in local recipient table

And here's their SMTP banner:

 220 plmail.planetaeducacao.com.br ESMTP Planeta Educação

Not sure how much that tells us, though.

Similar response from brasilux.com.br:

 450 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Recipient address rejected: User 
 unknown in local recipient table

where the banner is:

 220 serverlinux.brasilux.com.br ESMTP "Version not Available"


The sender addresses in question may very well be faked, of course: 
I'm not accusing these particular domains of being spam sources as 
such - merely of responding in an unhelpful way.  And these are only 
two examples from quite a list that I collected over time.
