Can a header be in this format and not be spam?
Yes.
When I connect to patriot.net with my Nt system and send mail thru netcom,
this is exactly the sort of recieved line that appears.
It will appear in the format of:
Received: from my-machine-name (netcom-mailserver [IP# I connected with]
Depending on my humor, I sometimes use a semi-realistic name, although I
usually stick with something like Vallhalla.
Or sometimes, if I feel like playing games, I'll use an SMTP server I know
will accept whatever its told, and rename my machine to something like
hell. Produces some intersting responces on occassion. :)
