Storing 'IP', 'Cftoken'(if using client state management) and 'address to' database.

That we are going to address on Monday in litigation against the sending companies... I was wondering how people were dealing with email from Cold Fusion applications to respond to such issues... Since CFMAIL doesn't support any login and password login type stuff... We have applications like mail to a friend that are particularly troublesome where the origin is an email that is not local to our servers and the recipient isn't local either... by every definition it fits the whole looks like spam definition to a properly closed email server...
