The maillog says this, and I believe it: Mar 5 08:22:02 ns5.arlut.utexas.edu sendmail[5427]: s25EM0Zg005419: to=<u...@xxx-xxxx.com>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=1081946, relay=ns2.arlut.utexas.edu. [146.6.211.1], dsn=5.1.3, stat=Service unavailable
But the user's bounce msg said: ns2.arlut.utexas.edu #<ns2.arlut.utexas.edu #5.1.3 SMTP; 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax> However, that address is okay -- sendmail -bv says it's deliverable. So.... is this disconnect between service availability and what the user sees normal? or fixable? j. -- Jay Scott 512-835-3553 g...@arlut.utexas.edu Head of Sun Support, Sr. System Administrator Applied Research Labs, Computer Science Div.
