Ah right, thanks Sam. Now I know what the "signature" of backscatter
suppression looks like in the log files. However, I'm still unsure of
why I can't clear this user. I've tested that a direct SMTP connection
works okay so I assume it should be okay to clear the backscatter entry,
but it won't...

 # courier clear [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] cleared.

 # courier show all
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there something else I need to do to turn of backscatter for this user ?
