Just try and stop spammers from using faked headers. Then there really is
no big problem. There is no difficulty in faking some From: an To: lines.

Even if we say that legal mailing-lists should have some kind of 
'authoritative mailserver' to originate from, spammers won't have any 
problem to fake a receipt-from: line and inject their spam via a poorly
configured mailserver :-(
