Here is a header for some spam I got:

>Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>Received: from karabalta.kg ([195.38.186.2] verified) by mx.4pi.com
>(Stalker SMTP Server 1.8b9d3) with ESMTP id


But, an A-record lookup on karabalta.kg yields 192.168.0.1. IOW, they 
are either deliberately obfuscating this, or are simply stupid with 
their DNS.

Enough looking around shows that 195.38.186.2 is ns.karabalta.kg. How 
does SIMS do this again? I thought it did a reverse lookup on the IP, 
then if it gets a PTR record, it checks the PTR result to see if 
there is a matching A record. Only then does it mark it as verified. 
But in this case, there is no PTR record for 195.38.186.2, AFAICT.
