True, but can they be forged properly is the question. I've caught enough spam
to see that it falls into specific patterns and if I can block half or more of
it because it falls into a pattern of having recognizably forged headers then
it's a good thing. I'm going to rewrite the function to just contain the IP
address checked so that if a machine announces itself as an IP and the IP does
not match the actual IP that sent the mail then it's spam. That's good for
10%-15% of the spam right there.
