Thanks for the reply, I found the problem though. system-calls.com -> 12.224.173.233 mail.system-calls.com -> 12.224.173.223
system-calls.com and mail.system-calls.com are the same computer. There was an error entering the IP address for mail.system-calls.com, one digit off. Boy, I cant believe it took me 2 hours to see that. On Wed, 2003-09-03 at 11:35, James Williams wrote: > Can you copy/paste the bounce back message?
