Great that you responded to the issue.

>We had a specific problem....

Most of the people here work in technology. Your response sounds a bit hand-wavy, as if you're alluding to some great complexity when the described "hack" is so incredibly rudimentary it would be the first thought of anyone making such a solution. The parts in this mechanism are trivial.

We've all done the "well...the packets they..uh...confluence of...ECC..."

>trying to stay a step ahead of hackers

Be wary of false confidence. I would wager that you've stayed a step ahead simply because you haven't gotten their attention yet. It's a classic "low security", non-scalable start-up approach. A "we'll deal with that once we're big enough that people notice it" approach.

>Over the past 2 years, we've developed robust spoof detection ip

Beyond using SPF and DomainKeys, I would be surprised if you have anything that could accurately get called "IP" in the realm of email. It's a long, long trodden ground.
