As I mailed Dean privately (where I also admitted that the tone of my mail was unappropriate), we use callbacks to satisfy legal requirements and enjoy the side-effect of decreased workload for SA.

Agreed. Sigh.

Unfortunately, due to the local requirements the defer_ok is not an option. In the meantime, I got the remote siteadmin contacted who will contact the mailadmin. I guess this will fix things and our workaround will be filtering the rejectlog and applying some human ressources there... :/

Kind regards,
