funny how these are some 90% of MY acl hits :|

i forget why i use 184 i think it came from your man page ?
i am guessing it comes via this

[gelgin@mail5 mail]$ grep -i forge sendmail.cf
R<FORGED>               $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 Relaying denied. IP
name possibly forged " $&{client_name}

oops do i have a config bug ::|

i shouldn't say this publicly but i set my grey time REALLY small
if someone is trying more than 1/15m they are 91% (ah... j'aim those
spam assassin heuristics) probably spammer.

not really since a key composed of %f%i%S already has this info
besides it might NEVER get accepted (which is why false +s are 
such a problem with SORBS).
