I see, that's your policy.  I've worked in many places and this is
the first time I hear of such a restrictive policy; I assumed your
policy was more relaxed and your intent was different.  Sorry.

The From: field is usually set to the original sender, even if the
actual message is sent by the mailing list software.  How would that
work with your scheme?  If you allow internal addresses, submissions
from external subscribers would still have invalid addresses when your
SMTP server receives them from the mailing list software.  I'm
curious how this would be handled, I'm not attacking your policy.
