Hi,
  A Groupwise server (company123.com) that uses my qmail server 
(mail.zipcon.net) as a relay just sent 6000+ messages identical to the one
included.  It appears to me that the Groupwise server is not properly
handling verification that the bounced message has been delivered, or in
this case, also bounced.  Either that, or the the rocketmail server is not
properly bouncing the message.

  I tested a rocketmail mail server and found that the error message comes 
after the message has been sent.  I'm not familiar with the relevant RFCs,
maybe this error message itself is the problem.

  Would someone mind taking a quick peek and clue me in if they see
something obvious.  I will probably  set up a temporary virtualdomain for
rocketmail.com and delivering the message to a local mailbox, but would
very much like to know why its happening.  Thanks, Dan
