Errm, yes ... I was typing in a hurry before leaving home and over
simplified. I believe there are "sub leases" -- ie., UUNet operates the
dialups for MS, but MS resells the capacity to other dial up services.
www.msn.com doesn't want to talk to me becasue I don't allow cookies and
don't have their spiffy shockwave plug-in, so I won't bother to explore
further for info on which domains they subcontract dial up service to.
A plague on 'em.
In any case, adding a From test would fix up that recipe (and is what I
have in my spam rules):
# I'm not sure why mail from user(_at_)msn(_dot_)com would have an ms.uu.net
# Received: line, but check anyway ... World.STD.Com customers have
# dialup access via the MSN dialups too.
