  But they can't do anything about it.  The message came from ONE place.
Anything listed in the From:, To:, Message-ID:, and X-Sender is junk.
Anything listed in the body is suspect.  The second Received: header is
suspect.  Any further Received: headers are most certainly junk too.

  Instead take the first Received header, and complain to the site that
you received it from.  That's it.
