Thanks for the explanation.

Hmm. This IP is not listed in the CBL or SORBS database. But maybe the
IP address of the network, from where I send the mail to my server is
listed there (and this address cannot be removed easily - public WLAN
network).

to split the original message into messages with only 3 addresses in To:
and close the other bugs tomorrow.

Thanks for the info.
