Yes, your server (if this is the topmost Received: header). in fact,
the entire topmost received: header is constructed by your server.
No, Sean, Fleet doesn't mean the topmost Received. He means the bottommost.
As soon as I saw his terminology ("last") I knew we were in trouble, since
there's no objective way to know if he means the most recent (top) or
the putative oldest (bottom). (I use "putative" quite advisedly, since
as we see they are so often forged.) For those who have been reading
carefully all along, David Tamkin warned of this terminology problem
several times already a couple of years ago. :-) Fleet, you meant to
say "bottom" or "lowest"; not "last," please!
That said, most all of Sean's comments are still valid.
