Error is better because it stops the mail at the envelope stage 
whereas null accepts it all, consumes your bandwidth, and then throws 
it away.

 sender (i.e. Return-Path) so if the mail is using different addresses
 in From and envelope, thjat won't stop it.
The From address seems to be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The FROM address is part of the message data and is ignored by SIMS. 
What is important is the return-path.
