rick, i didn't say that they couldn't have sent email
from another location.  certainly yahoo and msn are
harder to deal with.

Yes, rick you can do some tracing the way I mentioned.

lets see:    dig routers.com mx
routers.com.            4H IN MX        10 texas.routers.com.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
routers.com.            4H IN NS        dns.inetnebr.com.
routers.com.            4H IN NS        texas.routers.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
texas.routers.com.      2D IN A         206.222.193.73
dns.inetnebr.com.       2D IN A         199.184.119.1


hmm, so i would expect to see email from  texas.routers.com
or from some device within  206.222.193.xxx at a min.
(which would cover your machine called vegas.....)

I would expect that a  grep -i routers.com  mailbox
would produce output that showed mail from that domain.

I would expect that  a  grep 192.222.206  db.rbl.ct
would either show something in that block as being a 
locatlly flagged spam source, or show nothing, which means
we didn't block it

i would expect that a grep  206.222.192  /var/log/security
(freebsd ipfw logs)  would show something since we have a
rule called   permit log tcp from any to mailserver 25 

I would expect that a grep  routers.com  /var/log/maillog
which logs the smtp sessions to show something.

If I didnt' get a hit on any of those, I think its pretty 
safe to say I didn't get the email, something is broken.

All I'm saying is that based on the information we have
for that customer, I can and do check our logs to see if
something got dropped.


Almost half of the customers that had issues have their
IP's listed in multiple different RBL's  So instead of
dropping those emails, now we have to put them into 
a seperate folder and manually check them.  we get close
to 2800 spam messages a day into those folders.  

If they sent from hotmail or yahoo, then about the only
thing I can do is grep for there email addy string.

and yes rich, i'm involved with security issues as
well and have a clear understanding of how packets 
move, and what tools I have on my network that allow
me to see whats happening.

cheers
