I'm not convinced this is entirely true. We often get queries from our clients who get queries from their subscribers asking what happened to the email they were expecting. In other words, the questions are being initially directed to the Author, not the recipient's ISP, about the missing email. So the exchange is more likely to be: 1) message sent with restrictive policies 2) message bounces/is discarded 3) recipient feels unloved, asks Author why? 4) Author looks at logs and sees message was delivered, asks recipient to ask their ISP why 5) recipient asks ISP why 6) recipient gets an answer from ISP (really?) -- Jeff Macdonald Ayer, MA _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
