Hi,

Sorry for this. I am the GFI MailEssentials/MailSecurity/MailArchiver product manager and I am a list subscriber because I like the SURBL concept. The reason of these emails seems to be because yesterday our network administrator installed a new email relay server (named passthrough) and I believe that he has mis-configured it. I sent him all this info so that he will look into it.

I will make sure that this is fixed immediately.

regards,

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:)
