You tried Scott, but...
COOL, That explains why all those messages with mistyped
addresses from mpmri.com end up in my postmaster account.
OF COURSE, That explains why all those messages where the
users at mpmri.com have asked for delivery receipts end up
in my postmaster account.
ELEMENTARY, That explains why all those messages were the
users at mpmri.com have asked for read receipts end up in
my postmaster account.
You tried Scott, but what did I say about Imail being a

I'll leave you all to it. I'm out of here cause this is not

way I could refuse the connection and stop this junk from
cluttering up my postmaster account!!!
