I'm a bit lost here, so bare with me ...
First question, I guess, is whether there are othe rmessages showing up
that RCPT TO stuff, or is it just these types of 'spam' messages ... ?
The oddness here is that it almost looks like someone manually connected
to the smtp port and tried to inject the message manually ... and ended up
injecting the 'formatted message' that has all the SMTP cmds embeded ...
The second question is ... mangling done by what spam checker? Our spam
checker does nothing except add some X-Spam / X-Virus related headers ...
the body isn't touched ...
