It is possible, that the @216.126.27.237 is actually coming an invalid
SETUP.

May be there is a configuration screen or a setup option for whichever
mailer he is using (I wish we could see the entire header with the X-Mailer
statement) - and someone entered 216.126.27.237 as the "host name" instaed
of using "[216.126.127.237]" or instead of specifying the true FQDN of the
host.

Neither CDO/NTS or BLAT have any problems that I'm aware off.  But they are
NOT immune against the very basic data procressing rule of "garbage in -
garbage out".

You need to update the software that sends the E-mail (blat? CDONTS?).  If
the latest version doesn't include a Message-ID: header, you may need to
put pressure on the developers (even if you whitelist the E-mail at your
server, it still may get tagged as spam on the recipient's computer).

>Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  <<<<<<<< isn't this a
>message id header  you talked about ????????

Yes, it is.  However, it is not valid -- "216.127.27.237" isn't a valid
host name; it should be in the format "...@[216.126.27.237]".  Most likely,
the machine said "HELO 216.127.27.237" (which is likely illegal, but I
don't know for sure), and then did not supply a Message-ID:.  IMail then
(knowing how important the Message-ID: header is) added one, assuming that
the HELO name was a valid host name.  IMail certainly gets an "A for
effort", but it still wasn't able to fix the mess from the remote machine.
