Hi all

I have a tricky one.
We have a client with a Groupware Server sending us mail from an address "sueo'name@dom.com" which is being bounced back to them. They are able to send using that address to anywhere and everywhere else and we are able to recieve mail from other address's on their domain.

I have an idea it's the ' in "o'name" thats causing the issue but I can't find any rules in our Firebox, Bayesian SPAM Filter or Exchange 5.5 that would be bouncing the mail.

Even stranger, the sender is recieving a 'chunk too large' bounceback when the mail only contains a coulpe of sentences in the body... a couple of kb's.

Anybody got any ideas?

Nick
