[cobalt-security] Bad mail getting through.

[David Lucas <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I need some help.
This email made it through (with the Klez virus)
I see the space at the end of the from address.
I have many "Relaying denied.  Please check your mail first." with this ip 
today (24.207.16.73)
Most have different froms and tos.
The receipent is bogus, but mine.  It belongs to me but has never been 
used. (it was harvested and goes to the catchall)

As the from was invalid with the extra space at the end, why did this email 
not get rejected as being relayed.  Others today were.
I am getting email returned that was never sent with one of my addresses as 
the sender.

Can someone really help here.  Over the last week or two, I have really 
started to get hammered by email like this.  This particular one include 
the Klez virus.
