Error 554 from hotmail

2001-03-08 Thread rthum

Hi,

First timer on this list...apology if got any mistake

I've got 800+ error 554 form hotmail out of 1000+ email sent to valid hotmail.com 
accounts.
Can anyone explain what's the problem - Hotmail or qmail or network problem?
I've read an article by Arshad Mahmood listed in the linu-net mailing list

Why don't you post a copy of one of the errors?

I _think_ this is hotmails way of telling you the message size exceeds the
mailbox size.

no. When it's a quota/mailbox size issue they specifically say that in
the error.

it happens, apparently randomly, with hotmail. A list I run regularly
gets these: the hotmail accounts all exist, the messages are small,
and the next message will get through just fine.

I put it down to them being broken,
