You can't really stop spoofing itself as anyone can send an email and act as an imposter.
Example, IF you send an email from outlook before sending it click on options you can choose have replies sent to and the email going out will say its from that email instead of the one it was sent from.
The only way I know of to prevent them is to look at the header information from the received email and block emails from the source mail server it came from.
With the email opened in outlook again click options and at the bottom will be the header information look through it for X-MS-Exchange-Organization-PRD and block that domain from sending your system emails.

@wmiller - The way to stop this is to use Sender Filtering or anti-spam software. If you are not familiar with Exchange, please refrain from posting in the Exchange Zone.
Experts Exchange is like having an extremely knowledgeable team sitting and waiting for your call. Couldn't do my job half as well as I do without it!

To be honest, if you are receiving spoofed mail and you are using a mail filtering service, I would ditch the service and bring it in-house as Websense seems to be a waste of time and money.
Are you paying more than $239 per year for Websense? If you are, ditch them and install Vamsoft. Trial it first, but you will be impressed with the results.
