This one looks OK - the "may be forged" which appeared on the complete
set of headers is because a reverse lookup by name won't resolve
(unusual, but can happen):

mail.sneezy.org> nslookup 200.40.30.247
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

Name: r30-247.adinet.com.uy
Address: 200.40.30.247

mail.sneezy.org> nslookup r30-247.adinet.com.uy
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

*** localhost can't find r30-247.adinet.com.uy: Non-existent host/domain
