AGSAA> Actually the 212.62.52.154 address has no reverse assignment:

AGSAA> [andris@raibina]$ host -t ptr 212.62.52.154
AGSAA> Host not found.

Perfect explanation, that's exactly the ListServer did.
If reverse lookup successful, there is no X-Lookup-Warning: add by the
Server.

In the past I have activate the Reverse Lookup Checking, but allow the
message  passthrough  (this  is  for my statistic purpose, looking for
possibility  activate this as Anti Spam for this list). I made special
filter  here for that. But now, the research is over, so I (think) was
disable it :-(

AGSAA> Your  ISP  doesn't have the properly done reverse delegation on
AGSAA> 212.62.52.0/24 netblock. You should contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
AGSAA> "Kalman Cinkler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to fix that.

Correct, good recommendation.

AGSAA> I  also  wonder  that  the  HELO  issued  by  your  computer is
AGSAA> "192.168.2.36"  -  what  you have under the "DNS Configuration"
AGSAA> tab in the TCP/IP properties?

Ha..ha...this  is  also  other  part of my research, I have to disable
this kind of checking :-)

You're so good, are you working for ISP ?
