RE: [cobalt-users] Unsolicited email problems

Sounds like the spammer is running his/here own email server and just faking
to from field with that person's e-mail domain.  Check your logs, it would
show any sent mail and the IP it was sent from.  Also the header information
will contain the route that the message took include the ISP that it
originated from.  Back track that and you'll be able to send a nasty letter
to that ISP and hopefully get that spam king kicked off.

It pretty ingenious, by faking the domain it makes it look like it someone
from the same company/organization and therefore should be trusted and
opened.
