Called and left a polite message on voice mail - not open until tomorrow - Also, the US op. is a sales and tech support location only. It seem almost certain, that they didn't forge your email - but they are operating an open relay and using an illegal hostname for the HELO argument; Good reasons to believe the product is likely fundamentally flawed.
Hell, the relay uses the name "passthrough" - certainly looks to be done on purpose.
Maybe someone should LART zdnet using the gfi.com relay and point out the equivalence to them that way:)
