Re: [FW1] Retries from Remote SMTP servers with ESPG

[alon.rotem@aks.com]

Hi

It's all a matter of the ISP server. If ESPG deletes a message, it still
sends on the original mail header (so the recipient receives a blank
message). This is done in order to deal with the problem you've mentioned,
because thus - FW-1 sends a notification that the message has been
delivered successfully, and the server shouldn't retry sending it.
