The spoofing problem is in the process of being resolved.  For those
who have control over their own domains, I would suggest that they
implement the "Sender Policy Framework" for their domains.  This
involves a small adjustment to your DNS records (took me about 15
minutes to read the doc and do the updates on my system).

See: http://spf.pobox.com/
or Google on SPF and SPAM for more details.

Some of the major ISPs like Hotmail and AOL are, I believe, going
to adopt SPF controls this fall (i.e. will not accept mail without
valid SPF records) so the spoofing problem should hopefully diminish.
