Personally, I'd love to see some company (OpenSRS, in this case) sue XV.NET
for forging OpenSRS's domain in headers (and/or the SMTP envelope)
That's just me though. Spam costs me enough on a daily basis in terms of
time and bandwidth, and cost shifting the load is unacceptable.
Moreso, anyone willfully forging headers should not be allowed to continue
on the public internet.
