[leaf-user] Fwd: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

[Ray Olszewski]

I've been seeing some odd responses from remote SMTP servers this weekend. The one that prevented me from posting to this list seems to have been cleared, but the message I jusst sent in response to alby's inquiry on this list failed to reach him (though it did make the list). The rsponse from his e-mail server was somewhat unsettling:

>From ray Sun Oct 20 17:09:15 2002
Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-Failed-Recipients: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: Mail Delivery System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender
Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2002 17:09:15 -0700

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
host linux.empire.org [199.74.186.97]: 550 5.0.0 Federal Bureau of Investigation Violation

Is this just some jackass sysadmin bouncing mail (for an unknown reason, perhaps just a local configuration error) with a "clever" message or have I walked into something truly weird? Any ideas? Anyone else having trouble reaching alby?
