What is the actual spoofing problem that occurs? Is the problem that it seems to come from m...@example.com? But that can already easily be done, I can just put From: You <m...@example.com> in my email headers. > Any tried and true way to catch this spoofing?

The email addresses should be separated by commas. > As far as I can grok, having multiple From: addresses doesn't really make > much sense (is it legal?) Yes, according to RFC 2822, but they must be separated by commas. -- Matijs
