At least one of the ISP's I'm using checks the "from" and just denies
any mail that doesn't have a valid address, and it doesn't only check
the domain, it checks the mailboxname too. Apparently (so they claim)
they do this as a means of making sure users of their services have
set up their mail client properly.
Can't really say this is bad practice, I'm getting LOTS of mails where
a reply will return with "mail address unknown" or something similar.
