this is really weird.....

i run both my dns service and surgemail on the same (linux)
machine.

it has two physical addresses ........50 (ns.advwebsys.com)
and 
........52(surgemail.advwebsys.com)

both have reverse dns entries.

.50 is on eth1 and .52 is on eth1:0

in my running battle with aol, i've been getting some
messages via their 
feedback loop.

what i've noticed is the following:

Received:
from rly-xm02.mx.aol.com (rly-xm02.mail.aol.com
[172.20.83.103]) by 
air-xm02.mail.aol.com (v113.6) with ESMTP id

(SurgeMail 3.5b3) with ESMTP id 9471642 for

15:10:47 -0600

what i don't understand is why the middle 'received' is
there. when surgemail 
connects to aol, should it advertise itself?
