That is precisely the point I was trying to make. I know
everyone does it and there is very little you can do
outside of following the trail of every email spoof.
What I am looking for is any documents that was sent from
Microsoft or any "Nationally" known corporation that
states this. The problem with this particular customer
is he is very paronoid that his competitors are trying to
undermine his business by sending viruses and Spam with
addresses from his company. I know you are laughing, but
it is a headache for me.
