Hi All,
I received a notification from one of our user that he had received a SPAM message with his own EMail address as sender.
Our Ironports are configured for SPF validation so I was quite curious to find out that indeed, the sender was his email address.
See the SMTP headers here (some host names have been sanitized) below. The interesting trick here is that the spammer uses SPF headers with an "Envelope-from" and an X-Sender.
Any idea how we could block this ?
Cheers,
Fred

Hello,
Sorry but it looks that in your case the spammer does not use any SPF entry. Because for the all three types you have a None value, see the lines from your post:
Received-SPF: None identity=pra; client-ip=220.227.219.2;
Received-SPF: None identity=mailfrom; client-ip=220.227.219.2;
Received-SPF: None identity=helo; client-ip=220.227.219.2;
Regards.
