[cobalt-users] Problems fwd: RaQ3 user to his msn.com acct

[Fred McKinnon <fmckinnon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - 
is anyone else having trouble forwarding emails to
customer's "msn.com" email account?

I have a customer who has a POP3 user setup on my
RaQ3, which is forwarded to his msn.com account -
mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx forwards to:  hisacct@xxxxxxx

My mqueue is getting slammed with messages where these
fwd: messages are being "MDeferred: Connection reset
my smtp.blah, blah, msn.com", or "Read: mail error",
rejected by smtp. ... etc, etc.

MSN tech support wasn't very helpful, other than
saying they just implemented new anti-spam stuff on
their email service, and figured this is why I'm
getting "deferred -  connection reset" messages.

At any case, all these bounced messages cannot go back
into my customer's mail user spool, or else they just
fwd: back to his msn accnt, creating a loop.

In the meantime - I've disabled his forwarding to msn.
 Anyone else having this issue, or have any
suggestions on how to solve this?

Below are some excerpts from the mqueue - it keeps
filling up in a few hours to the point where no one on
the entire RaQ3 is receiving mail, and I'm having to
rm * the mqueue ... doing a force sendmail -q sort of
freezes sending out all those bounced messages back to
msn.

Etc, etc., etc - hundreds of these.  Most are "spam"
emails he has received at his pop3 account, which are
then fwd: to his msn account.  But, some of the
messages are legitimate - from family, test messages
to me, etc.

Thanks in advance,
HPP
