Actually that was evidence from my test that showed MSN did
properly respond if the received message caused the recipient
mailbox to go over the mailbox limit - at least in that instance.
When an error is returned there is no retry.
It is when the SMTP_DELIV_FAILED message occurs with no error
message that causes the retries and that I've come to associate
with large messages. And it irritates me to no end for a 10 Mb
message (or whatever size) to be retried over and over.
However, the first forum member to post on the thread, Julie
Silverman, responded that large messages are not the problem in
cases she's researched.
So I've abandoned my hypothesis in favor another, but unknown to
me, explanation.
