For some it'll be helpful, for some not.

Unfortunately, because of the way the email system was designed, it's too easy to
spoof return addresses and not a lot that can be done about it.

You could probably get around the problem by doing something like this though:

WHITELIST any email with a subject line containing some magic work ... your pet's
name or something unlikely.

BLACKLIST any email coming from your address.

Since whitelisting trumps blacklisting, any email with a subject line including
"FIDO" will be permitted, regardless of return address.
