Well, unless you want to volunteer you time, and convince someone at MS that you know more than they do, there is nothing you can do. If the problem is on the other end, that is where it needs to be fixed. > Do you have a suggestion of something we can do so we don't have this > continous problem?

To not have a problem with mail servers on the Internet, do not communicate with them. To help minimize the issue, all you can do is adjust your retry settings and then have a FAQ that explains that e-mail can not be delivered to some one if the mail servers they use have problems. :)) John Tolmachoff MCSE, CSSA Owner, Network Engineer/Consultant eServices For You City of Industry, CA www.eservicesforyou.com To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
