I'm sorry you had a bad morning. I hope that the rest of your day goes well.
After doing a technical analysis of all the facts and advice, I came to the same conclusion but assumed that there must be some way around it since mailbagging is fairly common around here. Now that I have bounced it off of the wonderful intellect on this list I can clearly see that mailbagging is out. Thanks for taking the time to respond, Evans Martin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Macpherson Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 1:31 PM To: Questions and Answers for users of ASSP Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy Subject: Re: [Assp-user] ISP Problems OK Evans, bad morning. Nonetheless your usage was completely and utterly obscure to me, now that you've explained it I can see that your problem is worse than you've explored thus far. The ISP is being backed up with unacceptable mail, which you're refusing. Most mail systems will continue to offer the oldest message first on any connexion, so you stand no chance of receiving the later messages until the log-jam message is cleared by timing out and being returned. Problem with the time-out scenario is that a slew of messages received by your ISP just after the log-jam message will also be timed out, before the ISP's MTA can re-commence offering you in time-limit messages from further down the queue. If you want to block the SPAM, you either have to take control yourself, including eschewing "mailbagging", or find an ISP who will SPAM-filter for you as part of that service -- Andrew Macpherson, OA5.com Ltd.
