I had this piece of mail fail the helobogus test. I am wondering why?
Here are the message headers.

Received: from babel.avstarnews.com [12.24.201.132] by mail1.gannett-tv.com with ESMTP
(SMTPD32-7.12) id A6A397880132; Wed, 08 Jan 2003 17:30:59 -0500
The problem is that the mailserver is identifying itself as "babel.avstarnews.com", but that isn't a valid Internet hostname (it has no A record or MX record, so you can't ping it or send mail to it), which is a technical violation of the RFCs.
