I'm seeing the same thing here as I'm rejecting messages that don't
contain a Date header. From yesterday's logs I see:
2006-04-06 15:28:38 1FRVTS-0000Vg-6r H=iport.americangreetings.com [216. 33.97.79] I=[138.38.32.21]:25 F=<services@???> rejected after DATA: ...
(the rejection was because of no Date header present)
and the trace information from the rejectlog is:
Received: from iport.americangreetings.com ([216.33.97.79])
by roche.bath.ac.uk with smtp id 1FRVTS-0000Vg-6r
for XXXXXXXX@???
(return-path <services@???>); Thu, 06 Apr 2006 15:28:38 +0100
so again the message arrived directly from an americangreetings.com
server. Now I've looked, I can see several other examples of this.
