I think we should discuss further the fact that the message is, in fact,
always submitted by a single party to a single MSA, and what are the real
benefits of continuing to allow the two addresses to be from different
domains?  This is analogous to insisting that you want to make phone calls
but have the name and number appearing at the caller-ID display on the other
end be something unrelated to your name and phone number.  That would
completely break the utility of telephone caller-ID and is not accepted.
Your particular use case is not malicious, but the great majority of cases
where there the two addresses do not correspond are malicious.  Let's
explore this further, please.

Your analogy is quite good. I have always wondered when and why the two
addresses would be different, and I have never come up with a reasonable
explanation. I believe what you are saying is that the current RFCs should
be adjusted to not allow them to be different?
