Oh sorry. In the configuration file it was always set as: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
About telneting from the server's shell, all the smtp commands pass fine. No problem with the "." ending. The error happens always only from certain domains on incoming email. The "." hang remembers me the old pix bug. Thanks for all the pointers. I'm open to any advice, I've tried everything I've found so far. Martin What I meant Martin was that there was a space in the "destination" word, which was written as "destina tion" rather than "destination". If you make smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination Does it work? _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
