I received the following Nigerian scam today. What makes it
interesting is the fact that it picked up a -100 for supposedly being
in my whitelist, yet my whitelist contains nothing even remotely
resembling the FROM address used. I do, however, have a wildcard entry
for ebay.com (which I'll now go change); is it possible that this got
whitelisted because of the bogus Return-Path?
