Folks, I really don't know what I should do when legitimate (but malformed) email gets bounced by some systems because their writers consider that malformed email is a bad thing, and must not be accepted. We see also increasing amount of bounces by systems who think that some 10 line linux-kernel text message is spam... There are two things: - Senders must REALLY send valid messages - Recipients SHOULD be more lenient on what they accept (And spam-detectors be smarter. Having URLs mentioned in message text - maybe that was the reason - should not mean it is spam...) If we ever automate recipient removal (we have means for it, more or less), there would be no warning whatsoever when a subscriber gets kicked out. /Matti Aarnio FAILED: Original Recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Control data: smtp ignus.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 99 Diagnostic texts: ...\ <<- MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BODY=8BITMIME SIZE=1718 ->> 250 Ok. <<- RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NOTIFY=FAILURE ORCPT=rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] ->> 250 Ok. <<- DATA ->> 354 Ok. <<- . ->> 550-This message has 8-bit content, but does not have the required MIME ->> 550-headers.
