Never block based solely on the From: address. If we did this, I could
go around spamming thousands of people as "Michael C. Robinson" and
suddenly you couldn't send email to anybody. Something like Razor
(http://razor.sf.net/) is better for this kind of thing. (And
spamassassin will work together with Razor, given that it's all
configured correctly.)
