or could it be that the errors that it is reporting are actually true?

it seems strange for you to suddenly decide that this specific error
message
somehow indicates the server is blocking your box. what made you come to
this wild conclusion?

-- mic



This message is from the remote Symantec EMail gateway and it blocks spoofed
emails sent from my linux box.

This is the first time a email/spam filter has detected one of these spoofed
emails from my *nix box so I'm trying to figure what is different.

--Why this was triggered?...
--What I can do to bypass it next time..---
-- Why did Symantecs box detect this and others havent?
