How so? The spammer is 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' and 'To:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is a user inside our domain. Yes, we have [EMAIL PROTECTED]
whitelisted, but not [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm boggled here...how is the Return-Path getting our local user
('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')? Shouldn't this be the spammers address in the From
header? If whitelisting works this way, and somehow the spammer is
setting the Return-Path to the recipients address, then how can we trust
it for whitelisting?

Please explain, I'm very confused now.
