I see this in my IMail log file - 06:07 16:24 SMTPD(BC3000AE) [12.20.248.130] HELO bur05.standardsteel.com for the HELOBOGUS log entry in my Declude log mentioned above. However when I look up that IP address I get Name: mail.standardsteel.com Address: 12.20.248.130 so were does the bur05.standardsteel.com come from?
