Ok, subject doesn't say much, but here is the deal. IMGate always checks the
*last* sender IP address and looks up in the spam databases if it listed or
not.
Now, Check this header out (below), As you can see, 207.202.32.34 seems to
be the spammer right?,not at all. IMGate is checking the spam databases if
207.202.32.34  is listed in any of them, negative, it's clean. However,the
real spammer relies behind 63.143.236.242. And it is listed in every spam
database I know of.
Then the question is, why does IMGate check only the last sender IP address
in the header? not the first one, where the email is originating from,?
where the real spammer is hiding behind.
That would definitely increase the accuracy.
Any idea if we could do that ?
Thanks.
Serhan.
