TJ said>Only checking e-mail headers reveals that e-mail is spoofed, but
what percentage of people look in the headers? The rest is trustfully
opening an e-mail that looks like it was from me
Ron D's reply>Is it programatically impossible for yahoo to create a filter
that would check the sender against the list of known members, and filter
out all of those sent from non-member email addresses?
If this kind of filter is actually possible to create, then maybe Dingo can
create it and give it to Yahoo to use. Ron D
