Rumor has it that Gene Heskett may have mentioned these words:
>... if the X-Originating-IP: header can be believed.

Yes, but can it? Anything X* in the headers is optional, and it depends on 
if *your* server is inserting that header, or if it's coming from the other 
end of the SMTP conversation - if it's from the other end, it can (and 
probably is) spoofed to try to look legit.

What do your Received: headers say? Also, what are you running for an MTA?

If you need more info, I'd be glad to help offlist; I've been a mail admin 
for over a decade.

However, I would like to trumpet that Dennis' maltedmedia list is *much* 
better than Yahoo's pitiful offerings.

Laterz,
