Again, what's the difference between one being authorized to use a domain

authorizing people to forge a domain is meaningful?
Lets say that a Virus
looks at a users email configuration to find the
MTA the user normally uses. While many Viri become their own SMTP
server, many companys and ISPs are now blocking outbound SMTP that
comes directly from a users machine unless it goes through their MTA
(our company does that). There are only users of the one domain so no
chance of cross-domain forgery... But the Spam or what ever that
generated by the Virus going through the MTA is authorized, but not
authentic.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a nice looking and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! WHAT A RIDE!"
