[OT] Help on morass of headers

[OT] Help on morass of headers

[Harry Putnam]

[Off Topic alert... trying to tap into the mail expertise here]

Can anyone see from these headers why I'm getting these messages.

I can't see why they would be sent to me by MAILER-DAEMON on machines
somewhere. 

Is it possible that this spammy_jammer junk is being relayed thru my
box?  I don't see any `Sender' field on them. I have seen no signs of
inturders or odd connections to mail port etc.  I run a fairly tight
ipchains firewall.

I think somebody is trying to fool you by sending something which
looks like a bounce.  Very sneaky.
