'au contraire' - we handle *proper* callouts all day long.

We even take 'postmaster@<our IP> as an IP-literal, as the RFC requires such, 
though we don't *send* that way, so it is purely a nod to the RFC's.

But a *proper* sender-verify is either addressed to the 'postmaster' or to the 
alegedly-valid user currently attempting a send.

As we have no such user as:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This was neither....

.. now 'Irish Alzheimers' being what it, is my 'wetware' may have forgotten 
that 
I perhaps *invited* you to test...

If so, you at least got a demo of what paranoid servers can do...

Wait til *next* week when the PostgreSQL AI rules kick in..

No need for 'honeypots'  All we care about is the traffic that hits *our* 
servers. Any of them.
