This sounds like an anitspam tactic to me. Messages addressed to multiple recipients are deferred, since a lot of spammers won't try sending a deferred message again; It's not worth their time or resources to keep track of deferred messages, and then go back and retry them. A legitimate mail will go through, just not until your MTA sends it a second time, upon which their servers will most likely accept it. >>> On 2/20/2008 at 6:15 AM, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Rick Harris" >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: My hosting company tells me that the mail logs indicate that the majority of Mailman's messages to Yahoo addresses return a "deferred" message.
