Hi There,

We use a web-based mail client called "OpenWebMail" which has a setting to
block emails with faked smtp headers. Problem is it sometimes deletes valid
emails from known users, indicating that there might be a problem with the
headers in their emails. I have included the mail log here:

Feb 22 01:34:45 support sendmail[72271]: g1M7YhR72271:
from=<pramods@concretioin
dia.com>, size=2441, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<651B94185268EE41AE046905AEFCEF6D1
161B4@ciplmain.CIPLNagpur.com>, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA,
relay=[203.199.89.139]

Feb 22 01:34:45 support sendmail[72273]: g1M7YhR72271:
to=<dummy1@info-spectrum.
com>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=31676, relay=local,
dsn
=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Could someone throw light on why any program would consider this email's
header to be faked?

Thanks.
