Hi.

I think Hotmail doesn't even process bounce messages. So it's upto the Admin of the remote server to see what they do with the bounce messages. I tried delivering a virus infected messages from hotmail to my account on my server (a virus which McAfee Scanner on hotmail could not detect) and the message never reached me but at the same time hotmail never really bothered to let me have the bounce message.

Same when tried from yahoo though let me have the bounce message from Yahoo. This is how the my server logfile entry looks for a infected message:

2004-07-13 13:05:50 1BkHpJ-0001hD-Nv H=(mail.somedomain.com) [xxx.xx.xxxx.xxxx] F=<user@somedomain.com> rejected after DATA: This message contains a virus or other harmful content (Worm.Mydoom.Gen-1)


Thanks
Anup
