When we see email with the MAIL FROM argument in our domain, we reject the
email unless it contains a header that our servers have added. It isn't
anything fancy, but we could put some kind of digital signature in there -
eg with DKIM.

I filter my mail so that internal email is in a separate INBOX, and it's
virtually spam free. There's no good reason why that should be so, the
From: header domain doesn't have to match that in the envelope, but that's
my experience.
