My customer is setup correctly (that's my job). THEIR customers are not.
And of course whenever we try to enforce these policies some of their
customers cannot deliver mail to my customer, call them and tell them
"You are the only contractor who does not accept our mail. We do not
have any problems with all our other contractors!". This either means
they are lying or the other contractors are braindead as well and live
with spam.

I see thanks. Strange thing: I requested the eval and they send me an
e-mail with an empty activation code:

"This is your activation code:"

So their system is broken as well and I will probably have to wait a few
days before I can start the trial.


Kind regards
