Hi, Thanks to all who answered, really appreciated. I've contacted the sending side again and am waiting for their response. As soon as I get more helpful infos, I'll post here to hopefully solve the problem.

These sort of handwavy conjectures don't get us any closer to a solution, pending a PCAP file. Everything else is pure unfounded speculation including the below: The only visible oddity is the variant server "EHLO response" that ends in 250 SMTPUTF8 in the reported server session, but why I connect it is: 250-SMTPUTF8 250 XSHADOW If there is some sort of proxy that conditionally inserts itself into the connection, or is bypassed entirely by the problem sender, then that could be part of the problem. -- Viktor. 🇺🇦 Слава Україні! _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
