If there's some change I need to make to my MTA to make you
happy I'd like to know what it is, but I'm still waiting for a response
to this from a couple of days ago:

Well,
I can assure you that all nodes making any kind of SMTP traffic at IMC
or connected downstream of IMC are some version of sendmail. If the good
Dr. would be so kind as to actually read what's contained in RFC 821. I'm
sure that he'll see that the correct response to a 450 error [requested
mail action not taken because the mailbox is UNAVAILABLE] is up to the
client. The mail server takes no action other than the generation of the
error. The correct coarse of further mail action is the responsiblity of
the client side software. The client side must make the decision to buffer
in the spool and try again or to inform the user that the mail box doesn't
exist. It is the fault of the good DR.'s mailer program for recieving the
bounce. Sendmail DOES NOT create a bounce, the client side does.
I say to the good DR. , FORTHWITH... Get off the Internet if you can't
take the time to learn how to use it. By stating your request in the form
of a threat you have only achieved several minutes of our enjoyment, as we
smirk at your ignorance. As well as a good chuckle with the boasting of
being nothing more than a figure head in your short novel of a tag line.
Tim Gibson,
CTO MobyDark Engineering
