I should have checked the header more closely. I've never had one of these before, and I received one the same time as I saw the posting from Matthias about the same thing. > It is not a configuration, this can happen in 2 cases: > - a change in the on your email provider which start bouncing emails (hence the > fact we don't stop those emails) > - but most case it is due to the antispam on your provider side, when a spam > managed to passthrough our (freebsd) antispam infrastructure. I run my own mailservers - The only antispam measure I use is the spamhaus SBL.
