It seems to use admin@(recipientdomain.com) as the envelope from address, so
if you don't use admin@ as a valid sending account, blocking mail from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  has put a stop to the bulk comming in.

It't wont stop everything, such as any forwarded from outside accounts, but
it will decrease the load on your virus scanner.
