     Yes, very informative.  Apparently it was "sent by 'mail'".  :D

     "Helo" is the active ingredient in this message.  Your e-mail server
software is introducing itself as just "mail" instead of a
fully-qualified hostname.  My server is configured to reject mail from
servers with this misconfiguration because a _lot_ of servers that don't
have a correct EHLO/HELO are also spam relays due to other
misconfigurations.  It's gotta be in there somewhere.  :)

      It wants you to run real mail server software, like postfix.  ;)
