Sometimes 552 code means its a temporary failure and other time its a permanent failure. As you can see below, the "250 Ok" is issue and that is the reason the mail is requeued after the it has failed because 552 code was issue later on. > Out: 250 Ok > In: MAIL FROM:<veitayaki_j@usp.ac.fj> SIZE=4070400 > Out: 250 Ok cheers Satendra. >Further to our previous messages requesting to stop this particular e-mail, >it seems that maya is not SMTP compliant as upon receiving a 5xx error code >it should stop immediately the transaction, but it does not... >cf: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt >Please fix maya mail server. >Cheers. >Franck Martin >Network and Database Development Officer >SOPAC South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission >Fiji >E-mail: franck@sopac.org <mailto:franck@sopac.org> >Web site: http://www.sopac.org/ ><http://www.sopac.org/> Support FMaps: http://fmaps.sourceforge.net/ ><http://fmaps.sourceforge.net/> >Certificate: https://www.sopac.org/ssl/ >This e-mail is intended for its addresses only.
