Does anyone have any idea whether Richard's idea below would be feasible?

This is just a quick question.  I've been using the NMS version of
Formmail on my site for a few years now, and every so often I'll get a
barage of emails from a spammer trying to hijack formmail to send spam.
Thankfully they seem to give up after about half a dozen mails, but that
doesn't stop somebody else trying a few days later.

So is there any way that formmail could detect that fake mail headers have
been added into the message, and just silently reject those messages? (and
so save me the hassle of wading through and deleting the junk comments)

Thanks in advance,

Richard Munn
