The problem was what form the mail from would be presented to the API. 
In case of a policy/milter daemon, perhaps the MTA has already dequoted 
the localpart.  However, since sendmail presents the entire MFROM as a 
single string, I think we must assume that localpart is still quoted for 
at least some use cases - or we couldn't know which '@' is the real one. 
 So adding some quoted test cases would be good.
