make it part of your overall services and policy, that you require a 
list of authorized users  .. if you dont know about [EMAIL PROTECTED]
than you will consider it a forged acct

        - you now have a list of all valid email accounts and 
        any unknown address is rejected/bounced/fried/devnulled
        ( the users does NOT have to have a shell acct ... 
        ( gazillion ways to do this
        
        - you reject unknown users on incoming email addressed to joe
        - you reject outgoing mail from "joe"
        ( ez to do with wireless laptops )

        - and if joe is using a borrowed laptop from the spouse
        or sitting at a different office pc ... humm .. more isssues
