Some mailers are dumb (see previous article), but some people who configure them are dumb too! After a mass mailing, I got the following errors:
If it is a temporarily error, give me a 4xx error, not a 5xx error!<argail@visit.ru>: host mailhub.totel.ru[213.242.36.74] said: 550 sorry, user is temporarily unavailable (#5.1.1 - chkusr) (in reply to RCPT TO command).

At least they checked the content, but it would be nice if they could get me the score from the spam-scanner so I could see if I was maxed out or that it was just with my toes over the line. | Share on Facebook | Share on Twitter<llevier@argosnet.com>: host mx.argosnet.com[213.30.158.180] said: 554 5.7.1 The message was categorized as SPAM.
