No, it will not send a bounce. As you saw, the previous MTA will be the one on the hook. The Checkpoint MTA never accepts the message. It never becomes responsible for a bounce. Can you check to see if the Checkpoint MTA is actually handling this correctly though? The previous MTA seems to think the Checkpoint MTA rudely broke off the connection. The Checkpoint MTA should have sent a "552 Too much mail data" or similar response. Also, if we're speaking ESMTP (can't the Checkpoint MTA do that yet?), there should be a size limit given. I've taken my Checkpoint MTAs off-line, they were full of hassles and really provided no security over the MTAs behind them, or I'd test it myself. -- Crist J.
