I wish I had found that all bogus HELOs are spam, but no such luck. However, I do think that there are some things that clearly point to a message being spam, and the HELO that Kevin presented seems good enough to me. However, I do agree with you, that enabling the IMail check would not be good - guess I just got a little carried away... :-o My gateway reject rules are just a bit more stringent than that. > Our first priority is to deliver all legitimate mail to our customers. > Second is blocking spam and viruses.
