So, to generalize the pattern: *your* (the recipient) domain is
(somewhere) in the username part of the From email address?

Hi John - Yup!

From address is - fastnet.co.uk.12056010.bob.jones885@vmta27.toprea...
It's not actually that, but similar. We are seeing this quite a bit and

This sounds like a fairly minor variation of the __TO_EQ_FROM and __PDS_TO_EQ_FROM_NAME rules in my sandbox.

Catching the case where the From header is after the To or (if your Received headers include the recipient address) Received header(s) is fairly simple, but if the From header is first that's a lot more difficult - there's no clear way to know *how much* of the From address to capture to match to the recipient domain.

Can you post the full headers from such a message to pastebin? (...or, if you would want to keep the email addresses private, zip one up and send it to me rather than mangling it - you'd be mangling stuff the rule's looking for.)

I wondered if anyone else was. I guess not?

I haven't noticed such, but my email volume isn't that large.
