Mmmm...
A typical bounce message looks like this...
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mms-research3.marketingms.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
64.75.34.135 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 554 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Recipient address rejected: Relay
access denied
Giving up on 64.75.34.135.
I am sending out several thousand messages a day (no I'm not a spammer -
just a market research company, not 'quite' the same thing). Mostly it is
working OK. I was concerned as I literally never seen this bounce message
before.
Rgds..
