RE: [cobalt-users] spam relaying

["Manny Tau" <mtau@xxxxxxx>]

I just noticed in the log:
stat=deferred
for all the entries.

Does this mean that a spam relay attempt was made thru my 550 but didn't get
sent?

Perhaps meaning that a spammer is trying to relay but my server is not
allowing it?

thnx, Manny
