This relies on the user having the entries in the address book. As many
marketers would tell you, easier said than done when it comes to

The mail wouldn't be blocked -- it would just be presented to the user
with only the raw computer e-mail address. This might annoy a company's
branding ambitions, but it wouldn't be fatal.
(This means that the phish-preventing effect still counts on the user
realizing that a mail bearing, say, a @hotmail.com domain is unlikely to
speak for PayPal. All it does is make him more likely to notice by
removing the distraction of an exactly-as-expected full name.)
