I don't think this works. I tried sending the whole thing back to the site
at the "from" header once before and it bounced with a notice that this was
not a valid internet address. Compuserv announced last week that it would
drop and attempt to brand any perpetrator using that service for spamming.
But unless we know where it's really coming from, I'm not sure that we can
do anything about it.
