The following header lines are the basis of my question.  The "from" domain
(mine) does not match the "from" [IP] address (not mine.)

Received: from jcjc.edu [65.240.76.232] by bobcat.jcjc.edu with ESMTP
  (SMTPD32-8.15) id AB4F105B014E; Wed, 23 Feb 2005 17:01:35 -0600
From: "Returned mail" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This may have been discussed before and I just didn't use the right search
words, but ...  has anyone worked on a filter/external program/whatever that
could check for match/mismatch of the from address and the from IP in the
"Received:" line.  Example: One could specify the domains and IP's that must
match each other.  If they don't, boost the score by whatever makes one
happy.

My logic: whether it is an uncaught virus (like MyDoom.BE) or junk mail, it
doesn't matter. If your users see email supposedly from you, they are going
to be more likely to open it and suffer the results. Is this worth working
on?  Has someone done something on this?

Thanks,
John
