-------^^^^^^^^^^^
where is the above coming from?

216.116.135.2 is www.netlabs.net

25 is the smtp port

46159 is the sender's port

10.23.32.24 is a private ip address which should not be 'leaking' out
into the internet. any ip address begin with 10.x.x.x would be rejected.
ip addresses beginning with 10.x.x.x are generally considered bogus.
