I'm running 2 boxes that are HW identical, both were ISO'd at the same time.
One with 7.402, one with 7.450.
I have a great spam test domain and have that domain load shared for spam on both boxes.
the 7.402 clears and deletes (by my understanding - backscatter), the 7.450 does not.
It currently has 75 errors in the SMTP Spool,
The 7.450 has tried numerous times to return the SPAM to the sender and 7.450 does NOT see that the error its getting should make it STOP retrying.
I've had thousands of emails in the error state in SMTP Spool yesterday.
Here's an example of clicking on one of the emails thats stuck in the SMTP Spool.
2009-06-13 09:38:29 SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM: SIZE=7146: host (my mail server IP): 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address n.18801.677054@bellecasite.com does not resolve
2009-06-13 09:38:29 ccmellon@mySpamTestDomain.net R=static_route_hostlist T=static_smtp defer (-45): SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM: SIZE=7146: host (my mail server IP) 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address n.18801.677054@bellecasite.com does not resolve
Here's the info from the 7.450 box

7.402 is working perfectly deleting these errors instead of retrying them over and over every 5 minutes roughly.
7.450 doesn't see that the sender doesn't exist but keeps trying over and over to send the SPAM back to them.
FYI, this domain has NO legitimate mail coming to it, only SPAM. So I use it for testing and bandwidth stuff. It gets around 700,000 to 1 million emails a day. ALL SPAM. haha
Just for fun, I'm upgrading the 7.402 to 7.403 to see if stuff gets stuck in that box tomorrow.
Any suggestions from anyone. All will be appreciated, or I hope this confirms a bug report for me.
