qmail doesn't look at ANY of the headers in the message. It looks at the
SMTP protocol envelope sender address (which it adds as the Return-Path:
header on final delivery). badmailfrom effectively filters based on the
Return-Path: header and ONLY the Return-Path header and as you are finding
out, that can and lots of times does, have absolutely NOTHING in common
with the contents of the headers in the message itself. :)
