I have a Cold Fusion server that sends out email.  I just recently
installed Declude.  Declude is saying that mail from my Cold Fusion
server failed a spam test with "IPNOTINMX"

Below is a snippet of the email header.  I changed the IP here to a
bogus IP as well as the sender is bogus.

Received: from mail.somedomain.com [123.456.78.9] by somedomain.com
X-Declude-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [123.456.78.9]
X-Note: This E-mail was scanned by Declude JunkMail (www.declude.com)
for spam.
X-Spam-Tests-Failed: IPNOTINMX


The IP address [123.456.78.9] is for the Cold Fusion server. It holds
mail in a CF spool and then sends it to the imail smtp server to be
processed and sent out.  So normally I would not have an MX record for
the IP of the cold fusion server because it isn't a mail server.
However, if my declude is flagging it than other servers might too.  So
I would like to "fix" it.  Do I need to create an MX record form my cold
fusion server?  If so, how do I create the mx record so that it points
to my valid email server?  My current MX record looks like the
following.

@                       MX      10      mail.mydomain.com.


Or do I really need to make a reverse pointer so that 123.456.78.9
resolves to the mail server rather than the cold fusion server?
