And, regardless of what the Barracuda box did, you should fix your qmail install. This behavior is no longer considered acceptable by the 'net at large, because accept-then-bounce is the biggest cause of virus spew bounceback spam. (As a result, people have begun widely blocking MXs that accept-then-bounce. You'd do yourself quite a favor to convert to reject-at-SMTP now, before you get blocked too.) -- -- Todd Vierling <[email protected]> <[email protected]>
