The Spool directory is excluded in any virus scanning on the IMail
Server.  I will check the log though.  What I find interesting is that
all that is mentioned in the received from is Trident.  We do not have a
machine by this name.  When I do a reverse lookup on the IP of the
delivering server this is what I get.

Answer:
No PTR records exist for 221.140.114.87. [Neg TTL=43200 seconds]

Details:
c.dns.kr. (an authoritative nameserver for 140.221.in-addr.arpa., which
is in charge of the reverse DNS for 221.140.114.87)
says that there are no PTR records for 221.140.114.87.

To get reverse DNS set up for 221.140.114.87, you need to speak to your
Internet provider.  You could also
check with [EMAIL PROTECTED], who is in charge of the
140.221.in-addr.arpa. zone.

It appears my IMail server accepted a message from a server that would
fail a reverse lookup and had a null sender.

Every msg must have an envelope recipient which will be in the Imail
log.  Use the ID A1EA72000DE in the Imail received: header and trace
down how that msg was processed.
