look if the server from your ISP is already in the PB-List
and their score is over PBextreme.

If yes,all connections from them will instantly cut of
without a message.

If they are on PB list, remove them and look if everything
works as expected (with the IP in  ISPMX) ...

MEI> Come on, Andy.  You know what I mean.  Mailbag as a noun went out with
MEI> the pony express.  Today, it is perfectly ok to use mailbagging as a
MEI> verb and I would hope most of the email admins on this list would know
MEI> what I'm talking about.

MEI> Specifically, my ISP serves as a backup mail server for my domain.  If
MEI> my mail servers go down for any reason, my ISP mailbags for me OR holds
MEI> my mail until the time that my servers come back up.  By removing them
MEI> as a secondary MX, they won't be able to offer this service to me.

MEI> The issue that I'm having is that they are holding mail for me that I
MEI> refuse to take from them.  This causes a problem because it ends up back
MEI> on their server and will never be allowed to be delivered by my servers
MEI> but will continue to attempt delivery because I terminated the session
MEI> rather than telling them that I don't want the email.

MEI> I have tried putting them in the ISP MX field and have tried 'deliver
MEI> all mail' but neither of these fixes the issue.  I have always had them
MEI> in the ISP MX field so that obviously does not result in a fix and
MEI> placing them in the deliver all mail allowed them to circumvent my local
MEI> addresses flat file so I'm in a quandary.

MEI> For the time being, I have asked them to stop mailbagging for me but
MEI> that is not a long term fix.  My plans are to set up a local mailbag
MEI> server so I can see when mail starts backing up and to start
MEI> experimenting with the settings to see if I can find a solution that
MEI> will work for both me and my ISP.

MEI> I very much so appreciate the wisdom and guidance that I receive from
MEI> this list but really don't need any guidance in the proper use of the
MEI> English language.  :-)

MEI> Thanks Again,
MEI> Evans Martin
