Just about any part of the headers (right down to the machine IP
address) can be spoofed/forged on any machine where the email has passed
through. The SMTP protocol lays out the whole thing about the headers, I
believe:) but unless it's a widescale problem or just a problem on the
last host the email went through, then it should be
distinguishable. Sometimes (usually, even) just one entry in the headers
isn't enough. You need to check over the whole route with a fine-toothed
comb:P
