On top of that, gasso.com.ph is violating RFCs by not having a valid
postmaster@ address.
<http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt>
from: 4.5.1 Minimum Implementation [of SMTP]
Any system that includes an SMTP server supporting mail relaying or
delivery MUST support the reserved mailbox "postmaster" as a case-
insensitive local name.

vscan.pacific.net.ph and pob1.pacific.net.ph are playing hot-potato with
