Heiko,

I am WAY too tired to go grok the code just now, but I suspect you are
correct.

If so, then:

reverse_host_lookup    or     host_route_trace    


and

reverse_sender_lookup    or    mail_from_trace



Might be more consistent.


BTW your server and mine were historically blocking each other by two
different types of those 'accidental' byproducts I mentioned.

Seems we have both made config changes, so I'll cc: you.

IF you get it, reply.

*your* use of it prevents me sending to you. I don't BL or block
sender callouts - just don't respond until OTHER tests have been passed
- by which time it is too late.

Conversely, MY rejection on the presence of 'ssl.

you 'ssl' in sever ID string does hereverse..
