Keith,

Have a look at this top bit from a spam's header:

 Received: from msins1.mseedi.com [210.94.172.180] by email.inhouseit.com with ESMTP
   (SMTPD32-7.13) id A238BC10058; Fri, 27 Sep 2002 05:42:32 -0700
 Received: from mpovy.earthlink.net (65.100.240.33 [65.100.240.33]) by 
msins1.mseedi.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 
5.5.1960.3)


"Received" lines are added chronologically from the bottom up.  In this example, the 
email was sent from a US West server (65.100.240.33) and bounced off an open relay 
server in Seoul Korea (210.94.172.180).  With a HOPHIGH of 0, Declude's IP tests 
(including external black lists like SpamHaus) examine only the last/top IP in the 
chain.  If the US West IP was blacklisted, it would not be seen.  With a HOPHIGH of 1, 
Declude examines both IPs in the chain and either (OR, not AND) IP can trigger a test. 
 This is a killer feature and not one I've seen on other systems.
