Nope. I sent from SquirrelMail, so the mail was sent from the SMTP server
on my web host.

The SMTP server is on a fixed IP. However, my PC, which I of course use to
run Internet Explorer and thereby access SquirrelMail in my web hosting
account, connects to my ISP via a dynamic IP. I notice that SquirrelMail
does include my local connection IP in the headers. Dynamic IPs for ISP
access are more common than static IPs.

As I say, the mail originates in the web browser of my PC, but is sent via
the SMTP server of my web host on a fixed IP.


I'm most interested in the fact that the the lack of an X-Mailer header in
SquirrelMail messages raised the "spam score" of my message. I wondered if
an X-Mailer header is part of the mail standard that should be
incorporated into SM.

Thanks anyway.
