I use 'smap: broken-from <>" to permit these in.
(Joe Yao smap with my own RBL hooks; my configuration below.)
smap:           domains itm-inst.com *.itm-inst.com
smap:           localhosts *.itm-inst.com
smap:           scrub-spam 1
smap:           broken-from <>
#smap:          check-from-address 1

Enabling 'from' address checking broke far more mail than it was worth.
