Huh?!  Either you're running { UUCP | some strange multihop
relaying } or I'm totally confused.  You connect to your colo box
directly.  There are no other hops along the way.

Older versions of SA, especially with custom DNSBL rules, may have had
this issue (applying DUL type DNSBL rules to IPs in every Received:
header:) but thats been fixed for some time.

Welcome to NANOST (North American Network Operaters Spam Talk).  But
seriously, anyone who has an interest in such issues ought to at least
occasionaly read spam-l or spamtools before posting to nanog about long
fixed problems in old software.
