Yeah, postfix really should reject that crap.  Do you know which MUA is

The problem with strict_rfc821_envelopes is that it also requires one to
actually speak rfc2821, so "MAIL FROM: whomever at example.com" would cause a
rejection.

There is the heavy-handed "smtpd_command_filter", though. It is certainly
capable of doing what you need.
