I do something vaguely similar -- I never accept, for example,
MAIL FROM:<dwmw2@???> because I know I never send it.
But that's got nothing to do with 'local' vs. 'remote'. That's 'valid
source address which passes callout verification' vs. 'invalid source
address', and _anyone_ can do that same check if they receive mail
purporting to be from me.
