Well, it drops the data channel.. So it should still bounce back, but
regardless.. The remote side returns user unknown when I have sendmail do it:
Sep 15 20:48:23 devnull sendmail[626]: h8G1mEH6000624:
to=<blah@lkjasdflkjasdlf.com>, ctladdr=<netmask@devnull.domain.com> (500/500),
delay=00:00:09, xdelay=00:00:09, mailer=esmtp, pri=30324,
relay=lkjasdflkjasdlf.com. [64.94.110.11], dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown
Either way.. I don't trust verisign.. I didn't trust them when we were forced
to use them in the mid-90's, and I certainly don't trust them today.
I read that last message regarding the SSL certs.. I don't think they would go
that far.. but, I didn't think they would go this far either. Verisign and SCO
should team up, they could both win awards on lack of ethics.
