When it comes to figuring out what a mailer is doing, it pretty much can only be done if one has access to the config file(s)... I should have indicated "IMHO" since it was mainly an *opinion*... See http://www.mengwong.com/misc/postfix-uce-guide.txt where it's clear there are an ENORMOUS number of combinations and permutations possible when configuring one's postfix mailer... Just about *any* assumption can be proven/disproven with this variability... There is no guaranteed way to determine the reaction of a mailer based on a sample of one since there are so many rules, location, order and types of "exit points" (REJECT, IGNORE, WARN) which can be applied to an infinite combinations of envelopes, addresses and headers... I won't use "not true" on your comments since there are so many possibilities... For example, you didn't say what your mailer sends in the HELO/EHLO command and we don't know what Mandrake has for restrictions on this... see http://www.postfix.org/uce.html#smtpd_helo_restrictions for what can cause a rejection -- and this is just the EHLO/HELO... Then, rejections can still come from such things as: - client - sender - recipient - headers (could be "/spam/ REJECT" for your case :^) - etc...
