Spoofed emails?

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right section to post in and so I apologize in advance. Once in a while I receive e-mails from admin@<my domain>.com which isn't coming from my box because it contains spam. I looked at the mail headers and I don't see a source of origin of the email besides the admin@<my domain>.com. I'm using exim version 3.x and exim isn't set up as an open relay. Any ideas how to prevent this? Thanks.

Don't worry, its quite easy for people to pretend that there email address is one thing while posting from another server. Its got nothing to do with your setup.

If you look at the IP addresses you will see where the email originated.
