Usually only those who 'CC:' everyone they reply to, thereby doubling the traffic. OK - there are a few more perhaps... But largely for lack of a PTR, use of dynamic-IP, HELO mis-match to hostname, high spam SA scores - nothing 'personal about those. But I have just raised the limit settings on that account.. thanks.. > which are for the most > part legitimate senders using well configured MTAs, ACK.. Most of the 'regulars' certainly are, sesame has its own router/transport, and I 've just seen a need to also whitelist it since it is not filtering spam.

Long-since harvested by half the planet. Not to mention being used to *test* the strictest of those rules. Note several times wherein I have offered to send logs back to folks having trouble in general (and done so - usually off-list). Other accounts I use are less draconian, else I would indeed miss a lot. But - as you point out - needs careful watching, as sesame has been hitting *zero* RFC, MIME, syntax, etc. points, but a few unusually high spam scores the past few days. Thanks again, Bill -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
