In Section 8:

Why is there such a recommendation?  What is a mail receiver?  I am 
asking the question as there is "receiving SMTP server" in that sentence.

That would be silly.  RFC5322.From might contain no DNS domain to begin with.



In Section 10.1:

   "Have no RFC5322.From field (which is also forbidden under RFC 5322
    [MAIL])"

Where is it stated in RFC 5322 that it is forbidden?  That RFC 
specifies a syntax for the Internet Message Format.

Some MTAs (sendmail?) seem to recreate an RFC5322.From from the Envelope,
in case that it is missing in the message.
