For example a letter that was sent to somewhere from
your machine, and got forwarded back to it for some
reason (like recipient having a .forward ) -- or
it originating by some remote-email-client, like POPmail,
PINE, Euroda, .. because those often inject email via
SMTP to the mailhost.
$MAILSHARE/router.cf -file has some options in it:
================================================================
....
#
# Configure error logging (squirrel)
#
squirrel -breakin
squirrel badheader
....
================================================================
This is what I run, and I don't get those "claims local origin"
loggings anymore.
Oh, do remember to clean up your $POSTOFFICE/postman/
directory regularly... I run daily a find:
find $POSTOFFICE/postman/. -mtime +7 -print | perl -e 'chop;unlink $_;'
(or was it: perl -ne ... ? )
