it is invalid...

because the hacked key generator they used is in error..

yep ... as well as the FD licensing agreement...

bounce the invalid mail WITHOUT altering your processing code to
'repair' the message... in other words, bounce them back an empty
message conatining only what you can get before the nul knocks you
out...

BTW: is this the first one of these you've seen? i've been
watching/trapping them since a few months after FD v2.12 was released...
where have you been?
