Sorry about the post to this list, but mail.weird.com is indeed being
weird. See below.

Hello Postmaster,

I don't quite see why you seem to think that gw.polderland.nl does not
match polderland.nl. I think it does.

Of course I am not going to change the name of the mailer to
gw.polderland.nl because polderland.nl is, in fact, the proper name.
Using another one would imply that it would appear in all sorts of
places, besides HELO, where it would be completely wrong to do so.
