Hey all, Sorry for the long post, but I'm confused here. I've been using squirrelmail for several months now, but I wanted to switch to a local mail client. Squirrelmail really is local because my postfix email server is behind the firewall along with my host machines. I want to use the webmail when I'm outside the firewall and Evolution/Pine/Outlook/whatever when I'm inside. Anyway, I've gotten a couple of returned emails since I've started using evolution saying that the destination server refused the email. I don't have any way of testing their systems to see why it's being rejected so I just tried sending a couple messages to an external test account on yahoo and then comparing the headers. The following are two sets of headers; the first is from squirrelmail where I was logged on remotely to webmail but from the same side of the firewall. The second is from evolution, also on the same side of the firewall.

The "received" lines for both also seem to be quite different. What I need to know is, are these differences enough to keep my email from getting through on some systems? Could someone be considering my email to be potentially dangerous or spam or something of that nature because of these headers?
