A couple of things: 1) Again, is Speakeasy talking to you about the content of the messages in their spam trap, or is it just the fact that messages end up in there? If it is the latter, this change won't help you. Subscribe requests will result in replies that end up in the same spot.
2) RE: Spam engine. All of those messages will end up in a reply to the person that sent the mail (or that Letterrip thinks sent the mail). You are not redistributing SPAM. Letterrip is rejecting it. This is exactly the same behavior that any other mail server would do. The one idea that came out of this would be to handle failures with SMTP errors rather then sending replies. a.h.s. boy (lists) said: > OK, I just got my second notice from Speakeasy, since the same > problem happened again.
