So no matter what we do we will still send out UCE to the unsuspecting user
who had their email address spoofed and we can't detect when that happens.

Until we get an irrate message from them or a spamcop report

At that price... maybe SA is enough... what does TMDA buy me?

Both can be faked. As an easy example change the account info in your mail
reader to a different account, or add another account to your readers list
of accounts, then send yourself an email from the spoofed account.


The RFC822 headers are whatever the Mail User Agent (MUA) writes them as,
and the SMTP envelope is whatever the  MUA tells the SMTP server.  Usually
these are the same things though they don't have to be.

When they spoof isn't the RFC822 fake, not the SMTP envelope?

Well behaved TMDAs look at SMTP info not RFC822, right?

I think the goal is to reduce the # of challenge messages sent out
