I may be wrong, but this topic seems to be out of scope. Is there any security list?

Hi,

If I remember, it was long ago since I've seen it done, the spoofer might need access to the mail server host. Given access to the mail server host its trivial.

So, you might suggest to your SA that their mail server host access is compromised. And, worse than that it might be compromised by someone launching MS viruses (which might not alert on xNIX antivirus, if any).

The McAfee message log from the email says:

HTH. Good luck catching up with them. :-)
