I've maintained a running dialog with Eudora support at Qualcomm for quite a while. I have no idea if any of you can thank me for fixed bugs or not :-)
Anyway, relatively recently, word from Qualcomm apparently came down from on high: as a new spam-fighting feature to their direct contact e-mail addresses (used if you get an answer after you pass their web-based bug submission proc), *all* messages to those direct e-mails are automatically temp-failed to discourage the spammers. Idea being that responsible mail servers will try later (the mail will then be accepted), while spammers will move on. This doesn't sound effective to me except in the case of brain dead spammers
Actually, this is called "greylisting" and it is quite effective. I consider it to be network abuse, but it's less abusive than spam...
SIMS interprets the temp failure as a permanent failure, a shortcoming that has been discussed here many times. SIMS does -not- try to deliver the message again, so the communication never goes through.
That is too bad. Perhpas Dmitri can find a minute or three to fix that.
