Hi,

I saw a bounce message today (edited to protect the innocent):
 <user@domain>:
 172.31.255.254 failed after I sent the message.
 Remote host said: 554 Filtered out by Filter 0 because "Received" =
 "from unknown (HELO ?192.168.0.1?) (192.168.0.1)"

The client, for whome I was to relay, provided HELO approximately as:
 HELO [192.168.0.1]

Which was indeed filtered to be "HELO ?192.168.0.1?" by qmail into the
Received header.

I was not able to find the document listing what contraints (if any) are
placed on the string following a "with" such as HELO in the Received
header line, however the RFC822 definition of <atom> does allow for '['
and ']'.

I wish to find a tactful argument, rather than simply pointing out the
lunacy of the destination's UCE filtering techniques.
