Re: CDONTS strangeness

could it be an upstream SMTP server at your ISP rejecting the communication?
there's no documented behaviour for this in CDONTS, but I could picture this
happening at the SMTP level. I myself, for instance, have a server upstream
from me which enforces quotas on the amount of mail I can pass through,
meaning mailouts must be done in stages. Don't see why this couldn't also do
a check on the from: address.
