Yeah, I try to keep on top of the people that suggest that, but I often miss a
few. Way too many admins out there that just do a "quick fix" for the symptoms
without looking for the real problem.

Put simply: add the IPs of all mailservers you control that add Received:
headers. If you've got some kind of NAT going on, use the IP that your SA box
will get if it does a lookup on the hostname that appears in the "by" part of a
Received: header.

For example: My mail comes in to xanadu.evi-inc.com, which has an outside IP of
208.39.141.94. However, that box is behind a static-NAT, and the SA box will
resolve xanadu as "192.168.x.y" due to split-dns. I need to trust the 192.168
address, not the 208.39. address.
