I wrote down the following regular expression, would it work properly?!

REJECT Message-ID and From incorrect

My idea is reject mail whose From header seems to have an e-mail from my
domain, but according to the Message-ID header this message could not be
sent from my server.
No. If you need to take decisions based on the contents of multiple
lines, use a content filter.
This is explained in body_checks(5), which you can read on your system
(man body_checks) or on the web:
http://www.postfix.org/header_checks.5.html
In particular, read the part that says:
<cite>
...
Many people overlook the main limitations of header and
body_checks rules.
o These rules operate on one logical message header
or one body line at a time. A decision made for one
line is not carried over to the next line.
o If text in the message body is encoded (RFC 2045)
then the rules need to be specified for the encoded
form.
o Likewise, when message headers are encoded (RFC
2047) then the rules need to be specified for the
encoded form.

I'm using body_checks because these "headers" come as part of bounce
messages we're receiving (backscatter).
Thank you.
