Mostly not - SMTP is usualy open to anyone on the Internet (if it is an open relay) or to selected "few" on the same network (if it is not an open relay). That means, anyone can forge your address if he's on the same subnet with you - using the same ISP, for example. There are SMTP servers that require authorization, but not as many of them. -- Radoslav Dejanovic Senior Associate to Mayor's Office City of Zagreb, Croatia
