    First so sorry for bothering you.
    But I'm not a spammer just but security engineer of the company.
    and I have read this article to stop spam at mail server.

    http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers/headers.html

    at this article, written like this.

    "Another trick used by forgers of email, this one increasingly common, is
    to add spurious Received: headers before sending the offending mail. This
    means that the hypothetical email sent from turmeric.com might have
    Received: lines that looked something like this:

    Received: from galangal.org ([104.128.23.115]) by mail.bieberdorf.edu
    (8.8.5)...
    Received: from nowhere by fictitious-site (8.8.3/8.7.2)...
    Received: No Information Here, Go Away!

    Obviously, the last two lines are complete nonsense, written by the sender
    and attached to the message before it was sent. "

    I just would like to know how this way is possible. Because I think that
    security relaters should know about the attack way well to defence the
    attack or fake etc.

    Again, I'm not a spammer.

    Thanks in advance.
