Hi,

I just created a PoC project to create a forum interface for some google(groups) based mailing lists.
Now we have been hit by this isuse:
www.spamresource.com/2014/04/google-groups-rewriting-from-addresses.html

As I use the auto user account creation feature, in practice this means that the forged From address causing the forum engine to create a user accoutn using the mailing list email address Smile

The side effects:
- all the affected users mails are appearing under this fake user.
- the password reset function sends out reset links to the public mailing lists.

With this bug - or missing feature to workaround google's bad workaround - makes the forum useless in case of google mailing lists.
I found out that in such cases:
- the mail address in the From filed is always ending with: '@googlegroups.com'
- the real sender address can be found in: 'X-Original-From'

I also started to investigate the responsible code.
It seems trivial to add such exeption, however I don't know if that mail header parsing module is third party code or not...
