How about doing it by IP address?  Doesn't "From:", when presented with
an IP address, use the relay's IP addr and not the email address of the
sender?

(otherwise, why does MailScanner care so much about the relay addr? if
the qf file doesn't have one, it says the qf file is malformed)


If I'm right, then you'd have "From: X.Y.Z.* no" and then a default rule
of yes.
