But I think I can use that document to justify that TMDA should send
its responses to the From field address:

The above document states that:

   - For responses sent by Personal Responders, the From field SHOULD
     contain the name of the recipient and an address chosen by the
     recipient to be recognizable to correspondents. Normally this
     would be the same address that was used to send mail to that
     recipient.

And since the From field is what I would like to validate, because
that's the email address I plan to use to respond, that's the one I
would like TMDA to verify for me.
