You will want to check the headers for routing information. It will indicate
which SMTP server or servers the message passed through to get to you. Most
likely, what you'll find is that these messages are coming through an open
relay server on the internet. So you may not know who originated the message,
just who left the mail server open to relay messages.

Hi,
We seem to be getting a lot of junk email as of yesterday and it is annoying
the users.
Trouble is, I don't think the email address that the mail says it comes from
is not really the address it is coming from.
How can I find out where a mail may have really been send from?
I know there is spam blocking software etc. that can be purchased but these
emails actually have only one line of text and this could be in a legitimate
email.
We aren't using the ISA SMTP screener. We would block from our Domino Server.
Thanks
Regards,
