Your From: header says ix.netcom.com and there appears to be no mention of netcom.com elsewhere. It appears to be perfectly reasonable to check ix.netcom.com. > Diagnostic-Code: 501 5.1.8 <kmself@ix.netcom.com>... Domain of sender address > kmself@ix.netcom.com does not exist If you look at the bounce you'll see that the mail made it onto the remote system but when the user tried to download it their spam filters rejected it, apparently because they have DNS checks enabled but hosed DNS (ix.netcom.com has MX records). I rather suspect that nobody can e-mail this user and that e-mail to postmaster will work. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
