There is plenty that can be done with header_checks (based on one header at
a time) but it depends on exactly what you are seeing, and you haven't
provided a full From header. Is the email address in the From header being
faked as well as the text, or only the text? For multi-header rules (e.g.
combination of From: and Reply-To:) you need something like postfwd /
spamassassin / mimedefang(?)

I don't see actual email addresses of our domains being faked in From
headers, but that's because we use DMARC with p=reject. But I do see the
text being faked, including inserting our names or a fake email address
(i.e. one of ours) before the real (foreign) address. I trap these.
