wow, nice...you're right.
Bill, even in the header of the message you sent me. it shows that it
came from mail.greenborder.com.  Interesting.  you should also check
to make sure that you're server is not somehow setup to forward mail
thru it.

Bill,

If you Google for "mail.greenborder.com" you'll find a listing of some
message forum posts by you in which the message ID appears to be coming from
mail.greenborder.com. Here's one example:

You'll want to take a look at your mail logs and see if your server is
introducing itself to others as the nonexistent name. If so, and that
information is getting cached on remote DNS and/or email servers which your
server is communicating with, therein may lie the problem. HTH.

Hello,

I'm working through an intermittent incoming email bounce problem I hope
someone can shed some light on.  Over the last week, a few major companies
are reporting intermittent bounces when sending email to us (maybe 5% of the
time).  When they do an MX lookup they occasionally obtain a fake hostname
and IP address.  In their email body the response looks like this:

  ... connect to mail.greenborder.com [216.52.7.214]: Connection timed out
...

I do not have a host named 'mail.greenborder.com' in my DNS records.
The IP address is not a mail server, it's an Internap address.
