Dear All,
<snip>
I believe the RFC's require that SMTP servers accept an empty From: <> address.

There's no way to prevent any random e-mail sender setting his return address to any random user@any random domain.
</snip>
One of the goals of my corporate communications solution is that :
The sender is unable to deny sending the message.
The reciever is unable to deny recieving the message.
The message can be uniquely tracked throughout it's path within our sustems.
We currently do this by using proprietry messaging systems (M$ Exchange and Outlook). Exchange ties an e-mail address to a network login ID. Person X can send mail using only his designated e-mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] from within our network.
I have been searching for ways to replicate this security measure using open systems without luck.
What do you guys know / feel about this ?
