What from field are you referring to ? Header from or ? From fields are easily be facted - does your maillog show the IP of the machine that sent the message ?

header from. nope only the ip address of the relay server of my isp.
|
Sounds like header manipulation. They forge the information to look like what you see. Can you post the header information and maybe we can see more details?
|
oops.... i erase it:) but if i see it again i will try to post it:)
for now i try to monitor my maillog and it doesnt appear anymore in my maillog. |
