A while back (probably a couple months) I changed part of my data acl
from
    require verify = header_syntax
to
    require !hosts   = mary.itusa.org : martha.iteams.org : deborah.iteams.org
            verify  = header_syntax
because a certain piece of software was sending me mail with an
invalid From: header (the address part was <>).  Up until today, I've
had no problems with this.  (actually, I think the messages were still
being rejected, but it wasn't that big of a deal)


Today I saw that all messages from martha.iteams.org were being
rejected with only this info in the log :
    rejected after DATA


I corrected the ACL to allow all DSNs to arrive (regardless of other
reject conditions), and started sending myself messages from martha.
The bounce messages said only "administrator prohibition" and weren't
any more helpful in debugging it (other than knowing which entries it
_wasn't_ because they had better messages). I found that the above
acl entry was the one at fault for rejecting all the (legitimate)
mail. I've since removed that hosts condition, but I don't understand
why the effect of it would suddenly change.

TIA,
-D
