There is an ecs field for email.from.address which is the From field in the email header.

The mailfrom field in the smtp header is a field useful for detecting email spoofing.

Please add email.mailfrom.address to ecs. Also update the mimecast integration to extract the headerFrom field from the inbound Acc logs.

@mjwolf investigate if mailfrom is a standard smtp header.
find out all integration that can normalize to this field if we were to add this into ECS

MAIL FROM and RCPT TO are both fields of SMTP envelope from RFC 5321.

It's currently used in these integrations zeek, proofpoint_on_demand, cisco_secure_email_gateway, m365_defender, sublime_security.

Given this is a standard SMTP field, and used by multiple observability products, I think it makes sense to add this to ECS
