Well, I wonder -- because e-mail was sent "apparently from" blah@localhost,
RCPT to someone at RR.COM.
And it delivered.
What happens if SpamCo decides to send mail from weluvspam@localhost to
everyone else in the free world using my mail server, seems like RR did it.
I DO allow relay from 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1/24, not from anywhere else.

Because the test is faulty, not because of you.
