Probably just standard spam using a legit domain in the FROM, just
happens to be yours. Tho I will check it out ..

if you could, yea, but if this is from the headers, you should be right
as it's not coming from the server, but other servers just changing the
FROM address .. What I could do is setup SPF for the domain ..

sysadmin note :
add a TXT v=spf1 a mx ?all to dns

no no, that's ok, I really think we have to go thru this stuff, and see
what we can do about it. If not, confront the legislation itself for
what it is doing in the real world, and how it is being used to stop
legitimate critical review of the State, and of corporations etc.
