Latest spammer trick I've seen, and I absolutely hate it.

I got a message from ftpmail(_at_)gamers(_dot_)org just now, saying that "my
request" was syntactically invalid.  Here's the headers of "my
request".

Do spammers do this all the time - using other people's real, valid
addresses?

Has there been any progress on SMTP authentication drafts?  Last I saw
was a kind of nice server-/gateway-based thing by Donald Eastman.  Is
it (or anything else) moving towards production use?
