>From my side, I show 
Name:    slip-12-64-128-192.mis.prserv.net
Address:  12.64.128.192

And

Name:    magnet.fsu.edu
Address:  146.201.250.2

What is in the header of that message if you still have it around?  

Shouldn't mailscanner be saying that a system is an open-relay since
that's what most of the DNSBLs are.

Hello,

I get the following in my log:

Jul 18 19:17:57 magnet mailscanner[28306]: Message g6INHZh17262 from
12.64.128.192 (magnet.fsu.edu) is spam according to osirusoft.com ...

My question is why is magnet.fsu.edu listed as the reverse lookup for
12.64.128.192?  Magnet.fsu.edu is my server and it is 146.201.250.2. Am
I not be interpretting the log correctly?

Thanks, Tom Combs
