[ILUG] Eircom -v- IOL, or just Eircom practicing the best of spam management, and blacklisting themselves.

[Enda]

Details of a bounced message received from an eircom customer emailing an
IOL.ie customer, seems like Eircom's MTA can't send the message because its
decided for "spamcop" reasons it can't talk with its own mail relay. Well
done Eircom!!
