That kind of thing can be SO annoying... I was having a great deal of trouble exchanging emails with one particular individual a while back. Tracing out the trouble it turned out to be this kind of thing. Reportedly the mail servers that my hosting company was using also had malicious users that were generating this nonsense, and I was being hit with the result. Their suggestion was "try again later" when I'd possibly (but not for sure) end up connecting to a different mail server. I ended up changing hosting companies, and the problem went away. -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.
