The difference between header re-writing and forgery should be introduced if
you are trying to define spam, IMHO. Dave, maybe you can shed some light if
you are lurking there on just what the implications on definitions these
legitimate header uses have on defining spam.

How do those laws define header forgery? As discussed here,
legitimate header forgery is extremely common. Individuals forge
