The only "Received: from" that you can trust is the one your own mail server put on which is the top one indicating the mail came from 213.228.211.190

In general, all the others could be forged. With some human investigation you might be able to decide that some other "Received: from" lines are valid, but I don't know of an automated way to do that.

Guys,

Here is the header on one of incoming spam messages. There are 3 IP
addresses in the header as "Received: from". Which one, or should all 3 be
listed "Black Listed" section in SIMS under the SMTP Settings / Anti-Spam
Options / Blacked Listed section?
