i am having the *exact* same problem. it only happens with mails
originating outside our domain, and tehre's no rhyme or reason to it.
our logs do show
seems to happen more often with hotmail and yahoo. it's also happend with
this list! the only constant i can see between the three is that they all
(i think) use qmail for outgoing mail.
i can't comfirm that this has happend at all when the mail server is
anything but qmail. how could this be the common link?
