5.2.  From

   The From-header contains the email address(es), possibly including
   the full name(s), of the article's poster(s), or of the person or
   agent on whose behalf the article is posted (see the Sender-header,
   6.2).  The content syntax makes use of syntax defined in [RFC 2822].

      header              =/ From-header
      From-header         = "From" ":" SP From-content
      From-content        = mailbox-list

        NOTE: Observe that there is no provision for parameters in this
        header, or in other headers containing addresses likely to be
        used for sending email (see 4.2.2).  When, for whatever reason,
        a poster does not wish to use a valid address, the mailbox
        concerned SHOULD end in the top level domain ".invalid" [RFC
        2606].
