I just got my first spam where it looks like my own addy was spoofed for an email TO ME (and who knows who else!). For reasons I've forgotten, I had my own addy in the white_list with a large negative score, so of course, the spam got through. I know that this is a reason not to use the whitelist, or at least maybe not with such a high score.
Is there anything else I can do to guard against this? What is the most common way someone's addy can get picked for spoofing, or is it all done via robots etc...?
Any advice welcomed! Thanks - John
