I had an issue with Ebay last week and don't know how to handle it. When activated, the script replied to an email from ebay (nore...@ebay...) and then ebay sent an email saying "no reply" and the script replied etc... In less than one day, 300 000 mails in the mailbox... I had to remove the script for this user. Is there someone here who had already that kind of problem and found a way to fix it ? Any idea / suggestion ? Best, Emmanuel Gonzalez _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
