which is valid AFAIAA. Someone who isn't up on SMTP might call the '4.6.1' code a '461 error' If not, then: - it shouldn't cause any significant state machine issues (it wouldn't with our software, any unrecognised 4xx codes are treated identically, it doesn't care whether they're valid or not). - Yahoo should live within the specs - No, but they think they are (like Google and many other large ISPs) -- Paul Smith VPOP3 - POP3/SMTP/IMAP4/Webmail Email server for Windows
