Is 67.41.229.20 the address of your SIMS server? Is it in the Client Hosts
list? 

Try using the address of another host in the Client Hosts list and see what
message you get (and use the third form of address above).

I think why I'm seeing it is I have SIMS behind a NAT router. SIMS sees it's
address as 192.168.1.3. The public address is 66.92.131.28 which is the NAT
router - all port 25 traffic is forwarded to 192.168.1.3.

I noticed this because I ran the relay test at
telnet://relay-test.mail-abuse.org. It tries to send a message to
nobody%mail-abuse.org@[66.92.131.28]. At the time, I had 66.92.131.28 in the
Client Host list (it's gone now as there is no reason for it). Since in SIMS
view, 66.92.131.28 was a client that was not itself, it accepted the
message. But it didn't get relayed, it just looped infinitely since it sent
it on to 66.92.131.28 which was itself although SIMS did not know that.

My thinking is that for some reason in Paul's case, the [IPaddress] part is
getting stripped when it reaches the primary leaving just user@outsidehost
which then gets relayed. But why that might be happening I have no idea.
