Hello all! I have recently come across a few spams that I am trying to block. The anatomy of the message probably isn't new to most of you, but when I try to recreate the spoofed sections that I wish to filter by hand over telnet, its clear that I am not understanding how the messages are being built. Example to follow below:

note the from line is spoofed to be wo...@mydomain.com, i...@spamdomain.com, senten...@spamdomain.com. Which appears to my users as coming from a user in my domain. Id like to filter against this, but when I go into telnet and try to make a mail with a from field so deformed, my mail server spits back "I can break things too" and quits my connection. How can I manually recreate this spoof so that I can learn how to filter it out?

Thanks for your pointers!
