Hey there, "the list".

I was wondering, i recently sat up my own smtp/imap server, behind my
firewall.. (running Exim/Courier)

And i had a little of problems with smtp spammers, so i finaly got the
relay settings tightened up, so that only i could recive/send messages..

Or so i Thougt. but now i get (not as much as i did earlier) messages
looking like this in the header :

(all mails dont have these particular adresses, they come from different
hosts, yahoo, aol, etc etc..)

What's your firewall? Is your firewall receiving the e-mails then passing them to Exim? If so, it may not be modifying the headers of the e-mail to indicate this.
