I believe it's because that's what the SMTP RFCs require. Once the receiving server sends the OK send data acknowledgement it can't return a 4xx temp error. It must either reject the message or accept it for delivery. Yeah, it sucks but that's the way it is... Jay Lee -- Jay Lee Network / Systems Administrator Information Technology Dept.
