I would say this is beyond your control. if other mail client that the
computer is infected by virus, and the virus spoof the address to spread
itself, there 's nothing you can do here in your server about it. It happens
here too.
What really annoys me is those mail servers out there with the virus detection
and stuff, and when they detect virus in the mail, they *bounce* it to the
sender, which most of the time is spoofed. Why bounce it? That is just plain
stupid. Just drop the mail for goodness sake.
