Fuck. That'll will be really hard to catch. It will even be impossible to
catch it, I guess, if they managed (which isn't very hard at all) to get
the following lines to look more realistic:

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <034b43b16c1a$7245c8a8$3ca04da0@irlfgv>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

correct Message-ID should be _very_ simple. Correct address in To will
no allow spammers to use more than one RCPT on a smtp relay. Imagine they
would read something like

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
User-Agent: what-ever-aol's-internal-client-puts-here
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How could you (as human reader) clearly identify this as spam? You
sometimes do _really_ get those kinds of mails if you answer newbie
questions...
