<p class=MsoNormal>These are not the only domains that are causing this error.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any suggestions on how to fix this n where to start looking.
On one forum a guy resolved this with file permissions in the MailScanner spool
directory. The others I found where the obviouse loop between 2 mail boxes. But
I don’t see this being the problem, because this error spans multiple domains.
The configs originate for the older working spam servers.<o:p></o:p></p>
