Sure. Anybody who uses a single host to send mail but alters their

mail is handled on somebody else's account, and thus will have a
Sender header (typically Return-Path will more likely point to Sender
than From in that case).
I can see how altering your From (depending on where you are sending to)
could be a possibility. Though I think that the MTA sending out as
<user>@<host>.<domain>.<tld> is a mis-configuration on the MTA's part.
As far as the Sender: header, I can see that, thus I refine my statement
such that either the (preferably) From: or the Sender: headers should
match the SMTP envelope sender / Return-Path: header.
It would be easy to implement in something like SpamAssassin.

This may be a very valid point. I wonder what it would take to add a
new rule that would add a small score if things did not match like the
likely should. Every little bit helps and I don't think a little bit
would hurt otherwise valid messages.
