Email headers

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how the host names in my e-mail headers change per connectio.

For example,

Received: (qmail 6980 invoked from network); 15 Nov 2008 12:26:20 -0800
Received: from thebakersmusic.com (HELO LatitudeD830.ablecc.net) (76.178.187.228)
by thebakersmusic.com with (DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA encrypted) SMTP; 15 Nov 2008 12:25:09 -0800

The headers above are not modified. I have SMTP authentication setup, and this user connects to mail.ablecc.net.

1) How does the host LatitudeD830.ablecc.net come to be? I have no DNS record of that.
2) the second line states it was received from and by the same domain? I would think this would be mail.ablecc.net?

Thank you,

Abel Jeffcoat
