In this case, it is not *intended* to do so...

Fair question.

Our error messages *might not* be specific if the nature of our tests turned up 
things that classified the source as a probable spammer or 'probe'.

Your specific server had been so classified here 27 September 2006 for sending 
to a non-existent address that was clearly intentionally 'constructed', not a 
mis-spelling of a valid user.

Software currently in beta test should give different results when rolled-out 
in 
another week or two.

Will advise the R&D server info at that time if you'd like to test.

Meanwhile, I've pulled that entry.

HTH,

Bill
