We have one person who is attempting to send us email
and our email software is rejecting it because it
thinks the person is using a Faked-From.  The reason
it thinks that is because this person's email address
is something @sbcglobal.net but the mail-from is
[log in to unmask]  The email
software sees the yahoo.com and expects the From email
address to be [log in to unmask]

Now, I can exempt domains from this rule, but I would
have to allow all yahoo.com mail through, which I
really don't want to do.  By the way, it is not just
yahoo, the rule checks all the free email provides
(hotmail, juno, etc.).  I told this person to either
send mail from sbcglobal.net directly or from
yahoo.com directly - one or the other.

Any ideas on whether this is prudent or should I open
the floodgates?
