skymail.btinet.local <<<< Invalid server name as well. They haven't even
got the basics right. I am surprised they manage to get anything delivered !
It's not on a dynamic IP as well is it ? ;-)

I would not consider that a false positive. It is up to THEM to configure
their servers properly. It is NOT up to me to allow in mail from servers
with incompetent admins.

All the best
