Hi,

in an ISP setting there seem to be two cases where machines other than the 
official
mail server send mails FROM a local address
- valid clients who send mails from their local system to the mailserver (and 
authenticate in
one way or another to do so)
- spammers who believe that a forged local address will bypass spam checking
Consequently I started to refuse mail from non authenticated senders using 
local mail addresses.
It turned out soon that ebay sends valid mail, FROM a local address, TO the 
same local address,
with an ebay HELO address - I had to create an exemption for that case. 
Is anyone aware of other sites that do the same thing?
