This thread explains the problem pretty well: http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0309/2932.html " ..the problem is that Yahoo is sending 8bitmime formatted email (as Exchange announces 8bitmime support) but when Exchange forwards that email on (in our case to a postfix server) it doesn't notice that the remote server will accept 8bitmime formatted and so refuses to deliver it.." *surprise* .. Exchange is the system causing the problem in this case. Hope this helps. -Russell > -----Original Message----- > From: MSU Network Administrators Group > [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Steve Plemmons > Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 1:09 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [MSUNAG] Problem forwarding to MSU Mail > > We have an exchange server in Statistics.
