By the way, I had no indications of this happening using 1.21 or earlier. This does not mean that it didn't for certain, but I am pretty certain that it would have come up (I was running 1.21 and maybe 1.20 from the time they were made available until the newer versions with this configuration - exchange -> assp -> xmail -> internet). It is possible that I may have made some seemingly insignificant change to any of the players involved, though, most suspect being ASSP.
I have verified that I (seem) get only one failure message back to the sender when the configuration does not involve exchange, that being email client -> assp -> xmail -> internet. Unless I am misreading the documentation, I think this is also not the right behavior since NotifyTryPattern is set to the default, but I prefer it to a whole bunch of messages! Here is an example of the header for that: [<00>] XMail bounce: [EMAIL PROTECTED];Error=[The maximum number of delivery attempts has been reached] [<01>] Error sending message [1137796073865.135234560.61c.banshee.buehlertech.net] from [buehlertech.net]. ID: <S75D07> Mail From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rcpt To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Server: <bogusdomain.com> [bogusdomain.com] [<02>] The reason of the delivery failure was: The maximum number of delivery attempts has been reached Thanks again for any thoughts or ideas...
