What happens if I spam you as "Elmer.Fudd@somesite.com"?
Your best bet is to track the MTAs (ie the SMTP servers via which the
message was delivered):
Received: from [141.168.104.211] (helo=BABY) <-- oops, no PTR record, and
HELO doesn't match host and/or sender domain name
Received: from [60.31.51.197] (helo=217.26.52.30) <-- that one's even worse
From: "correy mann" <minettelooney@easydns.com> <-- oops, display name
doesn't resemble email address. Email address domain name doesn't match
issuing MTA's domain name
To: "merrielle weeks" <myname@mydomain.com> <-- oops, my display name
doesn't match my real name
Bear in mind that technically these are legitimate addresses, but
definitely shouldn't happen in a professional environment. It is quite safe
to assume spam on such hints alone.
