I guess the falsified "from" address can't be spotted by a mail action for some reason?
Sounds similar to "Miscellaneous 3.1", which you can find at http://www.fogcity.com/em_utilities2.0.html Haven't tried it myself, but you should be able to modify it fairly easily if the Email header you're after is on a line of its own.
