That sounds like an issue with their mail server. In general, users at the
same destination are packaged together into the same smtp envelope to
improve efficiency. Individual users can be dropped out and that
shouldn't cause a problem for the rest of the envelope (although I don't
know if it causes the envelope to be deferred for later delivery). If
they're bouncing all MSN users because of one MSN user, they've got a
software problem.
Question is, should we be all that surprised? :)
Has anyone else observed this?
John
