Sure Mark, I think all of them do, it's just that unfortunately on an
exchange server the originating user isn't identified with a domain, only
their exchange name.

The other issue is that of address spoofing.  If anyone wanted, they could
spoof the from portion of an internet email with any domain they chose.  The
"I Hate Spam" "trust all users of my exchange server" option keeps you from
having to worry about this.

I've seen plenty of spam coming to me which appears to have originated with
me as well (so it looks like it came from my domain).
