"not sure" taking as an example 1 message which I got 4 times recently: wdiff between two headers:
Received: from hrndva-omtalb.mail.rr.com [-([71.74.56.123])-] {+([71.74.56.124])+} by sita.openmoko.org with esmtp (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) id [-1KRbWm-0004m6-S9-] {+1KRbhQ-0000wp-4o+} for support@lists.openmoko.org; Sat, 09 Aug 2008 [-01:56:37-] {+01:57:06+} +0200 Received: from hrndva-web12-z02 ([10.128.132.163]) by hrndva-smta02.mail.rr.com with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for <support@lists.openmoko.org>; Fri, 8 Aug 2008 23:35:09 +0000 so -- we see that the guys' provider (rr) got email once! but then had to deliver it twice (actually 4 times) before it succedded and stopped resubmitting. so it seems that poor exim somehow is said to 'reject' an email which it does but somewhere at SMTP connection time message is actually 'delivered'. I wonder if they don't use any spam filtering or gray listing at SMTP time... On Sun, 10 Aug 2008, Steven ** wrote: > You should note that it's not just Openmoko mailing lists.
