Just wanted to check I am getting loads of Netsky from a single ip and a
iplookup shows that it belongs to a vendor of ours I just wanted to
verify before I called the mail admin on that end. 
Thanks
Allen

>Is any virus able to forge the ip from in the header?

No.  No virus forges the IP address, nor is it expected that any ever 
will.  It is extremely difficult (nearly impossible) to forge the IP 
address.  The IP address is the one completely reliable piece of 
information about an E-mail that is received that contains a virus.
