I have a linux based firewall that sits between my lan and my dsl 
connection.  Here's the header that concerns me:

Received: from 66-23-211-34.clients.speedfactory.net[66.23.211.34] 	
	(helo=[192.168.255.106])	by mrelay.perfora.net with ESMTP
	(Nemesis),	id 0MKyxe-1C065r0A4k-000612;
	Wed, 25 Aug 2004 18:18:11 -0400

Note the reference to 192.168.255.106.  What puzzles me is the 
conversation per ethereal indicates that 66.23.211.34 is doing all the 
talking to the smtp server.  66.23.211.34 is my static ip.
