Novice question regarding mail server identity check

[Søren Therkelsen]

Title: Message

Hi,

 

I'm not running a mail server but just a annoyed receiver of spam.

 

It seems to me that a lot of spam is send through mail servers disguised a different mail server (possibly acknowledged as trustworthy)

 

I get to that conclusion from reading the mailheader and comparing the "helo" from the originating mail server with the IP-address of the same.

 

It might have been thougt of before and there might be good reasons for not making an identity check -

but i would like your thought on this

 

 

Regards

 

Søren
