Subject: [Exim] X-Originating-IP header and SPAM
I am currently running Exim 3.33 on a Linux 2.2.16 box.

I have the following problem:
My mailserver has been listed in the bl.spamcop.net blackhole list
because of alegged spam sent through the machine.

This is a copy of the headers of the alleged spam from spamcop:

I substitued my actual address with ww.xx.yy.zz.
I do not see an entry in my mainlog at this time for such an alleged
message. Could this be spoofed (using my address?), and what is that
X-Originating-IP header for?


Any help will be greatly appreciated.
