Since this started with a forward of mine, let me say that I have no problem
in the dot.
My only concern was having the port number appended to the IP address.
Whether it's a dot, a colon, a comma or a parenthesis, it will still break
things that check IPs in received lines.
Received: from kenny.hdqt.valinux.com
([10.1.0.4] helo=mail.valinux.com ident=mail)
by magic.hdqt.valinux.com with esmtp (Exim 3.22 #1 (Debian))
id 14VQYf-0000fO-00
That's why my original suggestion was to have
[10.1.0.4] helo=mail.valinux.com port=xxx
so as not to break things that read the IP from []
How the port number is shown in other places than mail headers doesn't
really make a big difference to me, dot is fine as far as I am concerned :-)
