I already contacted the webmaster of the spammed forum in order him to 
take corrective actions. As I'm hosting websites, I think it would not 
be a good idea to modify my clients files. Nevertheless, I use captchas 
on forums I manage. It's not perfect, but most spammers are blocked.

My provider blocks SMTP traffic from customer's IP if this traffic does 
not go through their SMTP server. More and more french providers do the 
same... It's a way to fight against zombies computers...

So, my courier is configured as a simple smarthost.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Mails are relayed from my box to my provider's one. Now, the request is 
closed on my side.
My provider's server sends me a DSN... My server can not deliver it. If 
it answers 550, we will run in an infinite loop. So, the double bounce 
message is mailed to postmaster (me)

Is there a way to keep the request opened on my side until the last SMTP 
provides an answer?

Jerome...
