Blocking Malformed "From" Headers

I have a spammer using a malformed From header, as follows: From: <UPS>[email protected] The envelope from is: [email protected], and I've set up blocks for that address. Sendmail is munging the From: header to change <UPS> to <[email protected]>, so it ends up looking like a local address to my users. How do I detect similar mangled From headers in Spamassassin? Also does anyone know how to prevent Sendmail from rewriting the From header like this? The documentation for confFROM_HEADER is a somewhat cryptic: https://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/doc8.12/cf/m4/tweaking_config.html#confFROM_HEADER I'd rather it say <UPS@suspected-spammer> instead, or reject it entirely. Thanks, Kirk
