No I don't think it's fun that spammers are forging FROM address, but what are you going to expect from a 20+ year old protocol that wasn't designed to verify who the sender is?
There is no way you can reliably check who the sender is. At least not without modifying the protocol. That would take quite some time.
It would help if ISP's would disallow their customers to send mail directly without going through their mailservers. If I look at the headers of the spam I get it seems to be coming via open relays and open proxies. Mail usually seems to come from US government (Marines/Navy/etc) or from IP ranges not in use. I don't believe the US government is spamming..
So there is no real way to catch the person sending the spam.
If a spammer feels the need to spam they should at least be decent enough to use their own domain name.
