Postfix problem


I thought I had this one fixed a while back but apparently not. I want to reject emails like this that are sent from one person but claim to be another. Ideas? Notice the first line and the last line:

Thanks for any ideas.

You would probably be able to reject mails of this type by using Postgrey - http://postgrey.schweikert.ch/ - which focuses on rejecting mail according to the manner of its delivery rather than the content. The much smaller percentage of undesirable content that gets through can then be handled by more conventional means (Spamassassin, ClamAV, Amavis etc.) with less of a resource overhead.
