I have the same problem with a customer of mine, some sender are on 
blacklisted ip bloc or blacklisted ISP mail server, and the mails are 
quietly rejected by MailScanner, but these mails are GOOD and must be 
delivered OR the sender MUST BE notified by the no-delivery and why !

If MailScanner is not able to do that my customer want disabled it and 
prefer to use a Windows anti-spam app on each desktop because it's MORE 
IMPORTANT for my customer, to notify the sender than to think the mail 
was delivered when it's not, 2 days ago he loosed an important mail from 
its lawyer because of that.
