"Or"? That's two different things. If you don't know already: Even if you test all this, it is still possible that - the target mail account doesn't exist - the sender's IP is filtered by the server so he'll reject - the localpart has syntax errors (allowed chars in the localpart are up to the server) Regards, Björn -- BOFH excuse #280: Traceroute says that there is a routing problem in the backbone.
