I love these spoofing mails - they are ace. Idea? Well, if you have an
obliging server with NDR's on, it's win win for the spammer. If it's
rejected and generates an NDR, the intended recipient still gets the
spam as an attachment in the NDR. Corking ;-)

Surely, by now, someone has come up with a simple regex rule or
something that matches if the to & from are the same? Is this too
obvious?
