Problem is it sometimes deletes valid emails from known users, indicating that there might be a problem with the headers in their emails. I have included the mail log here: Feb 22 01:34:45 support sendmail[72271]: g1M7YhR72271: from=, size=2441, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<651B94185268EE41AE046905AEFCEF6D1 161B4@ciplmain.CIPLNagpur.com>, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=[203.199.89.139] Feb 22 01:34:45 support sendmail[72273]: g1M7YhR72271: to=, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=31676, relay=local, dsn =2.0.0, stat=Sent Could someone throw light on why any program would consider this email's header to be faked? Thanks.
