Suresh...

I (think I) understand what you're doing. I don't quite understand one of
the policies implemented...is it really OK if someone at one of your
relay_from_hosts elects to forge your mail server's IP address as the IP
address in EHLO/HELO in lieu of a real name?

Or is the hosts = part left over from they other two acl statements (not
quoted) where it makes perfect sense?

Or have I missed something (such as some relay_from_hosts really do have the
same IP but no name)?
