Thank you very much,the router is working here(was thinking if the
overhead added let the hotmail servers think that the email was sent
from a "good" server that add lot of certificates,informations and ids
to the header), and the fact that is working , let me think only how
much useless and without consistency are the hotmail server policies.
Much more because I can confirm this:
I've just tested the hotmail.it servers in this way: I sent two mails ,
one from Thunderbird last version, one from Outlook express version 6,
result:
the mail sent from Outlook is inbox, no trace for the other one, obviously.
goodbye
