IE, you are [EMAIL PROTECTED], but your host isn't known to your provider; you normally receive mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED]? What I do is modify my sendmail.cf to have Dj$m This will strip off the host part so your address will be [EMAIL PROTECTED], and this will resolve. Of course if I've misunderstood the problem (likely, as I haven't seen anyone else suggest this solution) then "nevermind". /joel -- joel wittenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] [work] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [permanent]
