I wasn't familiar with those (told you I'm not an Exchange expert!), so I Google'd them and found that it's not enabled by default. I did find it enabled on one of our connectors on our Core server, though, and found what's below. Which, if I'm reading it right, says that our core server (.25) received the message from our Edge server (.27) rather than vice versa. So that would indicate that the message came from outside of our network, right? The Edge server received it from somewhere else, then passed it on to the Core server?

All of our outbound mail is routed through Google / Postini, and they cut us off last night after detecting it. I'm mortified. What I'm needing help with is tracking down the source. I can see who the message claims to be from, and Postini tech support thinks her account really is the source (I assumed the "From:" address had been forged). But even if her account really is the source, I need to know what machine generated the traffic so that I can see what's running on it. To be honest, I'm not sure how to do that. My weakness with Exchange is showing. I thought maybe the message tracking tool, which I've used to find some of the messages, but I can't see the originating IP address in there. Some of the entries say "2002:96b0:25ac::96b0:25ac" for the ClientIP. I don't know what that is. Any pointers?
