I do not understand DNSstuff's statement that this is a forged header, let alone how any mail server would be able to determine that it is. It is not even a very good test, as it only tries once, which means, it will get stuck in a greylist as well. If I send back a "try again later" message, is should try again later, which it is not. What about that header in any way, human or automated, could be detected as forged? They have a hostname, and that even resolves to an IP that has a PTR that is the same hostname. Seems a quite legitimate sender to me. -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
