Suit yourself.

Here's one from ebay:

2008-11-11 13:49:05 1Kztc3-0004Mi-0G <= xxxxxx@???
H=mxpool22.ebay.com (mxpool01.ebay.com) [66.135.197.28] P=esmtp S=17965
id=1569873298.1226411338214.JavaMail.SYSTEM@rc-v3conta003 from
<xxxxx@???> for xxxxxx@???

Here's a forwarded mail:

2008-11-10 16:43:08 1KzZqp-0006DD-TV <= xxxxx@???
H=forward.a.hostedemail.com [216.40.42.17] P=esmtp S=37233
id=BLU149-W651CAAB104160187329229F31A0@??? from
<xxxxxxx@???> for xxxxx@???

Here's some legitimate mail submitted via another ESP:
2008-11-08 09:22:34 1Kyk1Q-00063Y-7Y <= xxxxx@???
H=outmail129176.authsmtp.com [62.13.129.176] P=esmtp S=12044
id=db16dc8c46faada6195bd89f001a55a8@??? from
<xxxxx@???> for xxxx@???

And this one is, I'm told, a mailing list:
mainlog.02.gz:2008-11-09 02:30:21 1Kz045-0004Rr-1P <= xxxx@???
H=yearning.mcc.ac.uk [130.88.203.23] P=esmtp S=40228
id=BLU149-W42E6E5E172F6F6370D6030E71B0@??? from <xxxx@???>
for xxxxxx@??? xxxxxxx@???


regards,
Adam.
