Up to a point :-(

99% of the time this approach works, BUT some receiving organisations now
perform an anti-spam check as follows:

- Look at the sender's email address on the incoming message
- Look up the MX records for that domain
- Check whether any of those servers appear in the message header
- If not, reject it on the basis it's spam!

I have this problem with one large American firm with whom I have to deal on
behalf of a client. It's, apparantly, a "US Government" security
recommendation :-(
