Me neither - hence my puzzlement. The answer, though is, as usual, more c*ck-up than conspiracy.... uk2.net used to host the domain that my colleague was using in MAIL FROM - several registrar / hosting company moves ago. Recently, he logged in to his control panel at uk2.net, and did a tidy-up - including removing all the email aliases belonging to the long-ago-transferred-elsewhere domain. It seems that uk2's MXs are in a habit of doing sender verification for domains they think they own - perhaps not such a bad thing - and the removal of the aliases caused this verification to fail. A temporary solution was to put the aliases back... a more permanent one will hopefully follow from a support ticket we've raised with them - they will forget that they used to host the domain. Back to your regular programming....
