Hi,
        Dunno about you, but for some reason the spammers like using
my email address to send their junk mail out.  Usually it's pretty
easy to see that the message is a spoof.  But recently, they've been
adding Received: lines that have my external MX in a plausible place.

For example:

Received: from mx0.comscore.com (cp864846-a.dbsch1.nb.home.nl [84.31.103.193])
        by CSIADSFG02.comscore.com (Spam Firewall) with SMTP id BE637D0091A7
        for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 26 Aug 2006 16:28:50 -0400 (EDT)
Received: from mx.chubb.wattle.id.au
        by cp864846-a.dbsch1.nb.home.nl (Exim 4.05) with ESMTP id INmq81f3ythTW
        for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 26 Aug 2006 20:26:12 -0300
Received: from [27.77.157.95]
        by mx.chubb.wattle.id.au with ESMTP (8.13.1/8.13.1) id ekhRuXR5yUlMn
        for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 26 Aug 2006 20:23:13 -0300
From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2006 20:15:08 -0300
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This email actually originated from  cp864846-a.dbsch1.nb.home.nl
which appears to be a dialup or adsl or something in Holland.  
The timezone is the clue... mx.chubb.wattle.id.au is in New York, and
I'm in Sydney so the TZ on the datestamps should be different...
