Logs vs. headers

[Michele Neylon :: Blacknight Solutions]

I can appreciate that, however it is one of the "gotchas" that can get you
(read "me") into deep trouble :)
The Irish revenue use Symantec and our users had issues due to this setting
:/
Of course we have since changed it, but it is one that really merits a
glaring warning sign as it is so easily overlooked, nor is it the most
obvious type of error that you could find quickly.

It's not an error in the header, it's an error in the way that Symantec's
mail products incorrectly interpret the headers.
