Not only that, but the "try this address" postmaster box referenced in the bounce _also_ bounced? Yup. Same @Home.
Don't get me started. I found out the hard way why it's damned near impossible to get in touch with the @Home NOC to report security issues... They have had so many people reporting spam as DoS that they just automatically assume the reporter doesn't know what he's talking about and the caller gets shunted to support. Of course, if they'd deal with spam issues, they might actually not have that problem. -- JustThe.net LLC - Steve "Web Dude" Sobol, CTO - sjsobol () JustThe net Donate a portion of your monthly ISP bill to your favorite charity or non-profit organization!
