ok, but it's being sent through my SMTP - and it's not a valid account? see my point, it's relaying the message and it shouldn't be.

OK, thanks for clearing that up. The receiving mail server does not care where the from address resides, it is looking at the to address. Same answer that Scott and I gave you already. The receiving mail server is not going to verify the from address. Can not be done, unless like Scott said, you want to program a way to do that and create and RFC for it.
