After receiving the information below about a spam complaint I am trying to
better understand what can be forged in a mail header. Any help is appreciated.

More specificly can this information be forged data
  Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>   (user name changed) I suspect it can.

I know this e-mail did not originate form our server or IP's. Just wondering
if by coincidence a customer tried to relay spam through another server and
left a traceable address though I suspect it is a forgeable one and not a
definitive clue.
