Your hostnames aren't bad.  From the HELO strings I've been seeing,  
now that I sometimes pay attention, I see very generic outside names  
like mx1 and inside names like NETWARE5-003.  Telnetting back to them  
I might hit a PIX smtp fixup, but I still know which menu of sploits  
to throw back at them. (theoretically, of course).

Not to try to prove the negative, but typically the approach of  
preventing information leaks 'just 'cuz' is better than leaking  
'cause you're not currently aware of any problems that might create,  
because every once in a while you get caught by surprise.  That's not  
maximizing for ease of troubleshooting, of course.

Plus, I just set your Tivo to record random shows from the Lifetime  
network. ;)
