I've been getting this same report, and having to add the subscribers back to the list, periodically for a number of weeks now, all the auto-deletes from CUNY.EDU. Apparently, they're set to auto-delete upon receiving this error message from Earthlink.com, copied below. Am I wrong to think this is an obvious misconfiguration at CUNY? If Earthlink is rarely sending out this erroneous "relaying denied" error, wouldn't it be better if there was no auto-delete for it?
