David,

Thank you for the reply that is not where I got it from but glad you pointed 
that doc out to me :) It is probably better that I do this with amavis vice SA 
anyway. I think my regex was wrong I will compare mine to this doc here that 
you have posted. I say that because usually you can see the forged headers. 
Looking at this email this email actually properly announced where it was 
coming from which was some server in France so I have no clue why it matched 
that rule anyway, but time to break out the regex book because obviously I have 
it wrong. But like I said, a solution that was recommended to me about doing it 
winthin Amavisd.conf vice SA is probably a better approach.

Thank you
