I should have worded that more generic. I fact it means "general spamd
fuckup" and is mostly caused by spamd going away without providing ANY

For immediate relief, exempt the sender domain from spamd scanning by
adding a condition to your DATA ACL in the appropriate place.

Are these messages supposedly all the same (or generated by the same

facilities (RBLs, SPF) crap out.
