How do i detect falsified emails / spoofed emails ?
I keep receiving spoofed / anonymous emails from regular spammers but their email header leads me towards nowhere. Can somebody give me a basic information of how to do this or a legal body to report this issue as soon as possible.

John is right, there is little you can do except be faster with the Delete key. You could create message rules to delete them when there is a pattern. Microsoft, Google, the FBI and others are constantly tracking down these people and shutting them down. But since it is so profitable, new sources keep popping up.
At least enable some kind of DNSBL, so that their spam hosts are rejected quicker.

I use greylisting <-- My main email ISP uses greylisting to reduce the spam filtering load. It does a good job.
It just has to be ordered with lightest check first....

Thanks for your valuable answers/solutions and comments, it really helped me a lot. I would still want to know if any forensic email examination tool exist that might be able to comprehend my PST file data , so that i can determine where the email hopped from , what are their message ids and much much more. And finally export the information in a report .
this feeback indeed render another separate question :)
Sure, Thanks
Make sure to mention mail filtering chain you use. I'd assume you want to deal with incoming mails and some antivitus-spam will be in better position to help out with reports.
