You would probably lose a lot of mail that way.
E.g.
From: NZRR Database Notifications
Precedence: bulk
Message-Id:
From: Sun Microsystems
Message-id: <0I7P002S8ZMRCO(a)olm-ms2.sun.com>
Message-ID:
<880B6B3B42770C4E92F35D85732893A0EB910C(a)aklemail01.salesforce.co.nz>
From: Fly Buys Service Centre
A lot of mailservers are on subdomains masquerading as the root domain.
Also some organisations send mail for different domains (legit ones)
from the same mailserver.

Subject: [nznog] Sendmail Question
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone has seen the ability to configure sendmail
to match from address to the msg id field (after the @) or weather or
not it should do this by default.
eg:
Nov 26 10:55:24 mail sm-mta[15318]: iAPLtBa7015318:
from=, size=982, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<53fc01c4d339$34ac1af3$45006654(a)africon.co.za>, proto=SMTP,
daemon=MTA, relay=[65.126.46.48]
I would imagine a hell of alot of SPAM would be returned if our mail
server was matching @fyna.com.au with the @africon.co.za and finding
that they dont match? I hope I'm on the right track here.
Regards
Dan Clark
