Yep! That was me! :-)

I investigated with the sender of that message, and since he's a friend, I could ask him all sorts of questions.

Turned out that he used a dialup connection *and* a "dialup connection accelerator" offered by the provider itself. I don't know how that [EMAIL PROTECTED] thing works, but it probably re-routes all IP traffic through a software-compressed tunnel established between the PC and provider's servers. Don't know where, Message-IDs are altered, but not by the client itself.

I tried the same dialup without compression software and everything went fine.

So, the FORGED rule triggers correctly. Someone deals improperly with Message-IDs!
