Spam/Spoofed Email <fakeuser@ourdomain.com>

We have had an issue with Spoofed emails for some time now.

For instance we will recieve an email from <xff@OurDomain.com>

How can we prevent fake emails that have our domain on the address from being sent? We run a single Exchange 2003 server with Symantec 10.0

See my response and others in this question earlier today.

Basically there is close to nothing you can do as long as the messages are not originating from your domain.

The analogy I use is;

There is nothing to stop someone putting a post card in the postbox and saying its from santa clause.  It will still get delivered.

Hmm...Well I guess theres not alot I can do then. It stinks cause when they are sent alot of the times its sent to the address for all users. For instance "CentralOffice@<mydomain>.com

So everyone would get it. Argh, oh well.

So what should I do about the points thing...
