I should have written this as 'somedomain.com'. When I try to traceroute to the sending address I get as far as Cox's Phoenix servers, then it stalls. Using 'dig' on the domain name returns the registed company name and address, with a specific IP address. Running 'whois' on that IP address yields a different company; I assume a small Tucson business hosting the domain name. So, I suppose this is the source of the verification error. I'm not putting specific details in messages that will be archived on the 'Net, but it seems to convoluted. What I mean is, if a business is using cox.net for their 'Net access, why wouldn't they have an IP address within Cox's address block? Why an IP address that resolves to somewhere else? This mess involves a new client for me so I would like to figure out how to receive mail from them ... and get mail sent back to them. Rich -- Richard B.
