Emails (based on certain criteria) sent to my desktop also get a copy sent to
my PDA, in case I am
away from my desk.
Sometimes when I am on the road I respond to emails using my PDA. My PDA
forces my from address to
be the PDA. But I don't want to people to respond to my PDA address, I want
them to respond to my
main account so that my desktop gets their response. (My PDA will also get a
copy of the response
in case I am not back at my desk).
But when I am at my desk, I don't read the emails on my PDA, the screen is a
lot smaller then my
desktop :) But if someone did not honour my reply-to of a message sent from
the pda, then their
response would only go to my pda, and would go unnoticed until I left me desk
again and started
checking my pda...
This is *not* a made up scenario.

Interesting take on spoofing :-) I was always under the
impression that
spoofing meant falisfying the reply-to address so that when
a user clicks
"reply to" in MSOE the mail is sent to the reply-to address
falsely chosen
by the sender. Tech-aware users might well be able to see
through the
falisfied reply-to, but 90% of users won't, and those are
the guys we're
trying to protect, I thought?
Not with SPF. Sender-ID and possible Unified SPF might target
the From: header
but I don't think any of them target the Reply-To: header.
What do you suppose a "legitimate" use of the "Reply-To:"
header would be, and
why is it not spoofing?
