Antonio,
Investigate the Sender Policy Framework. Configured email servers can
then discover that the message is fradulent because it isn't sent from
servers you declare as authentic origionation points for emai from your
domain. This will help spam detection systems and increase the response
time to shutting down the source of these insidious systems.

Good Luck.
Sincerely,
Joe Baker
