Evenin! I have been reading on relays, and such. I am in a situation where a user on my system sends mail to AOL, but AOL blocks email from dynamic IP's (at least all of them I've ever used). So in order to get the mail to the AOL user, I have setup my MTA (postfix) to relay email through my ISP's mail server.
So far so good, it seems anyway (it's not quite been a full day yet, but things seem to be working fine). But, now in my email headers, Spam Assassin is running the FORGED_RCVD_HELO against messages sent from me. I'm AWL of course, but this is still confusing. I don't understand what's happening I guess. Any explaination is very appreciated. Not sure if this is necessary, but here's some info: Just a 'regular user' so I'm assigned dynamic IP's in the residential range ISP is comcast, and my relayhost is set to relayhost = smtp.comcast.net I send email to a mail list, that in turn, sends the email to me, and this is where I see this info. As a complication to add to all of the above, the mail list server is my backup mx server. Thanks! Chad
