Are you talking about the SMTP-envelope From address or the 'Header' from addreses?
I was originally talking about email addresses in general, be it the SMTP envelope from address or the machine parsable part of the From: header, between the angle brackets.
Then when Alan commented about an @ sign in the human friendly portion and the machine parsable part of the From: header, I clarified that I was excluding the human friendly portion of the From: header.
It's possible to set those two different pieces of information to the same value but note that they are -not- the same attribute.
Agreed.
Depending upon how your SA is glued into your mail system your SA may not even have any visibility into the SMTP-envelope From address.
Understood.It's my understanding that spamass-milter provides the envelope details to SpamAssassin. - I thought (assumed?) that SpamAssassin was treating the SMTP envelope information properly and independently of the From: header.
Under ordinary circumstances you will not see the SMTP-envelope From address in an e-mail message.
Typically not. But I've seen it there in a few different ways. Usually an extra site local header with the envelope information. It's also frequently possible to derive the SMTP recipient if there is only one and it's encoded in the most recent Received: header.
All the parts you see following that "From: " header element in a message are the 'Header' from.
Agreed.
That's the "from:addr" component of the header from address.
