Simply because I sent that message myself using telnet connected to
the 1st MX of toad.com (not tested the 2nd).

  Ah, well, that wasn't exactly obvious from the Received header that you 
posted, now was it?!  Heh, that was one vital piece of info without which 
nobody could be sure they understood exactly what it was that you were 
showing us.  I thought it might have been a quote from one of the headers of 
one of the spams!

It's so easy to verify by
yourself that I don't understand why you don't trust me.

  Oh, I do believe you; I was just pointing out that the evidence you were 
showing was insufficiently clear/complete.

BTW, Open Relay is propably more appropriate to define this machine.

  The toad machine certainly is an open relay, the one that was connecting 
to it is an anonymising mix-proxy.

    cheers,
