Anthony,
It doesn't appear to be a problem taken too seriously by any authorities.
http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/email_spoofing.html
CERT® Coordination Center
Spoofed/Forged Email
That page was most recently updated in 2002.
My experience in reporting incidents to cert and the offending
originating ISP is mixed. Sometimes the spoofs stopped right away, but
maybe for other reasons.
Regards,
Ralph
