The above is part of the destruction of email that the spammers have accomplished. Note that it's not just the ISP. We regularly get support calls about mail not being received, when the logs clearly show that the message was deposited into the user's mailbox and later picked up by the user's machine. Something on the user's machine (our users primarily run Windows of some vintage) has filed, dropped, or done whatever to the message. --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
