As I said in my reply to Joe, I suspect it's part of a misguided anti-malware program. >> The worst of it is you can never know for certain if you're going to >> get "bitten" because routing can vary. >It isn't about routing problems, it is about properly configuring your >toolset. What I meant was that, since at any given time a route from A-B can vary due to, for example a server being down, you can't be sure which route the mail will take and therefore, which server(s) it'll pass through and what their reject/drop rules are. So, not routing per se, but unpredictable consequences of passing through certain servers. >> (1) 4Meg or so used to do the trick.
