NO_DNS_FOR_FROM

As I tested this a week or so ago and confirmed that the 'NO_DNS_FOR_FROM'
test will not work unless the recognized Envelope_From header is at the top,
you will really need to convince me that the location does not matter.

When MS placed the Envelope From header at the bottom, SA refused to 'trust'
it and would therefore skip the 'NO_DNS_FOR_FROM' test.

Here is the log entry that proves that:
>"debug: X-Envelope-From header found after 1 or more Received lines, cannot
>trust envelope-from"

To cast my vote to Julian's poll, I prefer option 'A' to change MS's entry
to "X-Envelope-From:" for the shallow but simple reason that its what SA
expects by default, hence a pseudo-standard.
