Re: Can forwarded emails be razor-reported ?

The issue for razor is not going to be the sender. Razor doesn't even look 
at that part of the email in any way as far as I know. It's strictly a 
body-content signature system, since spammers often send the same message 
with many different from/to addresses.

What matters to razor is that the body of the message be in it's EXACT 
original form and not be modified in any way by HTML stripping, line 
wrapping, addition of "forwarded message follows" text, etc etc.

If your forwards have the exact same body as the original email, without 
re-encoding, html changes, etc, then it should be ok..

Most forwarded mail doesn't have this feature however, thus there's no 
point in reporting it as your're reporting something that isn't the same 
email anymore.
