Sendmail with MimeDefang catches these (and cases where the external
sending host claims to be one of my mail hosts or domains by name, as well
as the syntax error of no square brackets surrounding the dotted quad --
a condition which should have the message not even reach SpamAssassin)
at the SMTP "level".  See an earlier post by me for details.

With MimeDefang and Sendmail, if you can come up with a Perl expression
for the condition you want to match, you can easily reject messages at
various points during the SMTP transaction.
