I still dont understand whats wrong here??? if u get @137.52.23.46 in the
headers of the mail????
Received: from unknown (HELO ?137.52.23.46?) (adamt...@awabllc.com@137.52.23.46)
Please try to understand the meaning of this header line above .....
To the mailserver this client i.e., 137.52.23.46 is an unknown client because
this clinet doesnt have any RDNS defined for it and cannot be resolved, hence
its unknown. Secondly, adamt...@awabllc.com is the authenticated user who is
sending mail from the client 137.52.23.46
Thats what this line stands for in the hearder of you mail.
I dont understand whats wrong with that???

Anil Aliyan

CJ,
It is probably not the e-mail client. The problem was discovered by someone
using Mulberry (which I think is a variant of Eudora) and I reproduced it with
Thunderbird/Linux and on Thunderbird/Macintosh.
Thanks,

Adam,
Yes for (incoming and outgoing)authentication you must put in the entire
address otherwise the mail server doesn't know who you are.
Something else is wrong with your setup that is adding that
@137.52.23.46 Is there a possibility that it's the e mail client?
