I'm curious, Matt. Would you block mail from my server? It says "EHLO
pyloric.projectile.ca". That domain name is not resolvable outside my
local network. It connects from an IP address that reverse-resolves to
"projectile.ca". Here's an example Received: header (sorry about the
wrapping):

Received: from projectile.ca ([64.26.176.14]:40161 
helo=pyloric.projectile.ca)
