The envelope sender is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. For some reason tmda-filter appears to be getting stuck because of these. More recent versions of TMDA identify and properly handle this envelope sender. If you are running an older version, you may have difficulties. Also, we generally recommend that the postmaster address is *not* protected by TMDA, because often messages generated by the system need to get through to postmaster (as in this case) and there is no way that the program that generated the message will understand TMDA's challenge. Beyond that, I'm not really sure what's going on here. Tim _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
