what did you not understand

your MTA get a connection and have the IP of the last machine involved
in mail tzransmission, bit all other received headers before YOOR
machine are nOT trustable because i can write whatever i want
and how many received-headers i want and submit the message
directly to your MTA

you have NO WAY to say if they are forged or not
