Spoofing?

@Jeff: What do you mean by spoofing? Is it in reference to the email headers that Salesforce.com uses? The IP Addresses that they send SMTP traffic from? Have you had a negative experience with Salesforce.com?

Salesforce phishing possible solution

If you use Salesforce.com, a company called OutProtect (www.outprotect.com) has a product that secures your downloaded data. The product stops authorized users (or people who have phished and stolen a valid ID/password) from removing Salesforce data without your knowing about it. These attacks are happening no matter what CRM you use, so OutProtect is a pretty cool way to lock down your info from walking out the door.
