Why do you want to prevent people from forwarding genuine, unmodified
messages? That's a feature, not a bug.
If ebay sends a message with a valid ebay signature, how can any chain
of forwarding and added signatures change the fact that it's a real
ebay message? Let's assume that ebay has enough sense to sign its
MIME headers and not to use l=, so the message that's delivered is the
same one that was sent.
R's,
John
