[DUG] Problems with TDSMTP

[Kyley Harris]

Interesting that your clients subscribers are coming up with email addresses
that don't exist ;) Also interesting that hiding the error 550 rather than
reporting it is what a valid newslist would want. Surely they'd like to know
that their valid customers address is wrong ;)

Also. 550 is a generic error, used for more than one thing by the ISP. You
need to contact them. It's got nothing to do with the indy code.

For example. In NZ SMTP rerouting is not possible. Explained: if you are an
xtra user, and you take your laptop to a house that uses orcon, you cannot
send mail using smtp.xtra.co.nz at that line. You must use smtp.orcon.net
even though you are an xtra customer. And vise versa. It's a telecom trick
so that they can charge extra for their SSL enabled smtp servers. This will
also return you a 550 error.

No worries, I wasn't being hostile (there were nowhere enough f*** words 
and/or yo mamma insults to constitute that).
