quoting fejj from an old posting answering the same question: <quote> all clients will throw an immediate error dialog if the recipient is meant to be on the mail server (network) you are using to send the message. thus, if you are sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using the bar.com smtp server, it will throw an immediate error dialog if foo does not exist. if, however, you are sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using the baz.com mail server and [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist, then you will get a mail saying it could not send the message to said user. this is because the baz.com mail server connects to bar.com and tries to give that message to bar.com, but bar.com rejects it because user foo does not exist. everything you've stated tells me that it's either user error or your mail server won't allow you to send to that user for some reason or another. either the user doesn't exist or else you need to authenticate for this particular server (?). </quote> hope this helps, andre -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | failed! http://www.iomc.de
