You mean, The Postfix response is this: 554-5.1.1 <s...@ssssxx.com> Recipient address rejected: user unknown in etc. 554 5.1.1 Please see http://goo.gl/xxx for explanation of the problem. But MS Outlook reports only text from the last line (I still hope they translated the 5.1.1 as "there is a problem with the email address"). There are two solutions: (1) don't use software that thrashes multi-line responses, and (2) don't send multi-line responses. The options for the second solution are: (2a) don't send reply footers, and (2b) combine error response and footer text into one line. Considering that multi-line responses were standardized in 1982, and that other mail servers also send multi-line RCPT TO responses, it is just a matter of time before we will reach state (1). If the issue really bothers you, I suggest option (2a). Wietse
