[FX.php List] Re: Mysterious asterisks appearing in fields

[DC]

glad to help! your persistence in solving the underlying problem even 
after making a workaround is an enviable trait.

sorry i wasn't able to help sooner but my mailserver IP was listed by 
spamcop for 24 hours because I decided to set up some auto-responders 
for old but spammy mail accounts on my mailserver and iviking uses 
spamcop and bounced my emails to the list!

turns out that spamcop considers auto-responders like vacation bouncers 
to be spam generators since they can bounce spam messages to forged 
From: headers. apparently, some of my vacation bounces bounced to their 
spamtrap addresses and they listed my mailserver IP.
