But aren't we also educating our users to look at headers? Hmmm...address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sent through evildudesRus.com, reply-to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]? Aha! Someone at evildudesRus.com is trying to
pass himself off as guysmiley and so into the bit bin it
goes. Reality: Guy Smiley uses evildudesRus.com, his local ISP, to catch
up on a bit of work at home over the weekend but evildudesRus.com blocks
port 25 so he can't send his message through his work server at
sesamestreet.com.
Far fetched? Not really, this is basically our policy here. If the
headers don't match the sender, consider it bogus.
