You could use my spam testing software. From the server in question,
send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with the envelope sender set
the host in question. It will connect back to your server and send
mail to the envelope sender. Then it will send mail to the envelope
sender address. Obviously if the envelope sender address is bouncing,
you got a problem, but that's not the case here. Just ask your
customer to create an alias on their host that forwards to your host,
and use it as the envelope sender.
