As Reindl says, detecting forged addresses is what SPF is for. If you own a domain which can send mail and is one where you expect to receive mail, you should have an SPF record set up for it. The SPF record should be used by other MTAs to see if the sender address is forged before attempting to send a 5xx reject message. The benefit to you is that you don't get showered with backscatter when spammers forge your domain as the spam's originator. Martin
