Legitimate senders should not use fake, false, misleading credentials.
There is no requirement for the greeting name to match any IP, and isn't likely to work for multi-homed and/or clustered machines.
Which type of 'multi-homing' were you thinking about ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multihoming
* Single Link, Multiple IP address (Spaces) * Multiple Interfaces, Single IP address per interface * Multiple Links, Single IP address (Space) * Multiple Links, Multiple IP address (Spaces)
Which type of 'cluster' were you thinking about ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster
* High-availability (HA) clusters * Load-balancing clusters * Compute clusters
If any of these share the same IP address, they can share the same host name.
I am not well acquainted with either of the above two methods, multi-homed and clusters, but I can not understand why any of them should resort to using fake identities when sending-out emails.
Can you help me understand why bogus identities are necessary in these circumstances ?
Thank you.
