No. They happen more frequently. It looks like they've changed the
envelope-from to be the more proper "<>". I'm not sure when they made that
change. Just check for connections from those hosts.

Also if they do a RCPT TO:<yoursenderaddress> and get a failure, they'll
fail the incoming connection.

"Please escalate this call to your shift supervisor" is a phrase I use
frequently when dealing with tech support like this.
