cough, cough ...

... ciao:

    long story short:  this showed up as an entry as having sent mail to
this domain.  "linux-admin-owner   ---@--- vger.kernel.org".

    that did not make it to me. checking, if find this in maillog:

"Jul  9 01:04:24 yossarian sm-mta[10726]: m6984OqK010726:
  from=<[email protected]>, size=4034, class=0, nrcpts=1,
  msgid=<[email protected]>, bodytype=8BITMIME, proto=ESMTP,
  daemon=MTA, relay=vger.kernel.org [209.132.176.167]
 Jul  9 01:04:25 yossarian sm-mta[10726]: m6984OqK010726: Milter insert
  (1): header: Authentication-Results: aniota.com; sender-id=none
  [email protected]; spf=none
  [email protected]

    now, 'sid-filter' is configured to accept 'vger.kernel.org', so this
suspicious.  checking,  "209.132.176.167" is 'Red-Hat' address space.
redhat does publish a dns 'spf' record for itself, but does not include
kernel.com.  kernel.com, does not employ 'spf'.

    as it turns out, the redhat address above, is listed as:

 "ns.vger.kernel.org.     58M IN A        209.132.176.167"


    i have two questions:

    a. will this make it back to me, through normal processing, and

    b. could this be associated with the latest bind security issue ...

... i'm a man, but i can change,
    if i have to , i guess ...
