In other words, the blame is squarely with Microsoft, and they
should be held financially and personally liable for the harm
that they have caused.

quoting from the original message:

 | They have even gone so far as to create aliases that are not ours.

None of the large-scale public worms invent new localparts. This appears,
instead, to be a simple matter of forgery.

the forgery is not nearly as big a problem as the vulnerability of so
many systems to viruses.  authentication wouldn't solve the problem either,
as long as the systems that send the mail are so easily compromised.
