A lot a rejected at SMTP time, e.g. the sender gets "a message not sent" or similar from his MUA/MTA (actually since there are 99.99% spam and the spambots don't care about SMTP failures the error is not displayed to a human, I wish it were. The rest of the 0.01% are people that reply to spam). --=20 Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net --8NvZYKFJsRX2Djef Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEUEARECAAYFAkmBVUYACgkQQBVS1GOamfEX+wCYo7GaYBcZNT6x1CY4MNjYRfFP IACgl8dGWevldFbXSOkSmD6UovyLPOg= =XCh6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8NvZYKFJsRX2Djef-- --===============2423241013440742321== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors --===============2423241013440742321==--
