I've got to disagree. The only headers you can trust are the ones added by your system. Other Received: headers can be real or faked. Only the administrator of that system can be sure. Besides, without a complaint, how else is an admin to know there's a legitimate problem? Just as with scanning inbound mail, there's bound to be misses on outbound scans. I, for one, welcome legitimate complaints to my abuse@ address and I also make sure to report any junk that makes it through my filters. </soapbox> Jason A.
