Hi Louis-David, I cannot send you Email directly, since it seems the IP of my mailserver is on some internal blacklist of your ISP. As there is no information why it is on the list (and no SPAM was ever sent from my Mailserver, which is under my own control), I can only assume the postmaster incompetently blocked the whole subnet, not just the offending host. To make matters worse, there is no working contact email and I propose you switch ISPs to someone that knows how to run a mailserver. Anyways, here is my answer to your second hexdump: The header looks fine, but it is in the wrong place. It should start at 0x00000000. Is there soem mapping or offset specification missing?
