That way lies false positives. The email that I'm replying to had an
envelope sender of:

exim-users-bounces+lists.grepular.com@???

And a From header of:

"Hill Ruyter" <hill#ruyter.co.uk>

However, if you do want to take that route, in Exim you'd do something
like this in the acl_smtp_data acl:

deny condition = ${if !eq{$sender_address}{${address:$h_From:}}}
      condition = ${if eq{${address:$h_From:}}{hill#ruyter.co.uk}}
