This message is from the remote Symantec EMail gateway and it blocks spoofed
emails sent from my linux box.

This is the first time a email/spam filter has detected one of these spoofed
emails from my *nix box so I'm trying to figure what is different.

--Why this was triggered?...
--What I can do to bypass it next time..---
-- Why did Symantecs box detect this and others havent?
