That would be great. 
I have think I have the Auth setup. How do I do the "custom header into
authenticated users" ?

Test of Auth

The problem is not with the iPhones.

The problem lies with the fact that you're not using AUTH when nowadays it's
absolutely necessary.

You need to use AUTH, and SPF with hardfail as well. I also insert a custom
header into authenticated users' e-mails so that SpamAssassin will score a
-100 on them, and that helps a lot.

(mobile-166-137-011-147.mycingular.net) because the IP is different every
time, and whitlisting mycingular.net is  a bad idea.
