Great work, Roger!

[email protected] is hosted at joyent.com, not hostgo.

My DNS is managed by DNSMadeEasy, I use it to forward all my incoming email (MX 
records) to Postini for spam management which then forwards to my joyent email 
.. but I doubt this has anything to do with the problem.  You can see the 
filtering in the long headers as psmtp.com entries.
