Hang on a minute, here. You said earlier it was 'easy peasy,' so it can't be
worth real money (-:
I have had a few discussions with the comms experts I know and none of them,
including the bloke at AT&T, could swear that they could fake an x400 mail
right down to including producing an authentic-looking received line. They
all said no probs doing the return address, which is a trivial task, to be
fair. Presumably this is what you were thinking of, in which case, I let you
off. If on the other hand, you know something that they don't, then this is
a major news item, and maybe the tabloid editors in here ought to take note.
