   I have been probing some email receive-side folk, about their 
call-back or
verification steps like this that they conduct.  Generally, the 
range of tests
is of these types.

    Unfortunately, it is rarely based on the rfc2822.From field.  It is,
instead, typically based on rfc2821.mailfrom.

Most MTAs do not perform any existence test on the RFC2822 From 
field.  It's not a "free" test.  Any test would be a RFC 2822 
operation based on RFC 2821 rules or whatever rules the Working Group 
agrees upon.
