I understand Davide, I knew this wasn't XMail fault, I only wanted to find a
solution to prevent these types of forged froms.

I will have to add code into my script to parse the message header and look
for the From: line, compare this from with the one in the SMTP transaction,
if they are different do something.

What do you guys think?

OK guys, XMail is an MTA and could care less of the envelope From: header.
Wherever you see FROM inside XMail, that the return-path (that is the
address passed in the 'MAIL FROM:<...>' SMTP transaction.
