Yes, I think I did missunerstand it. The above scenario isn't true of cause, as the bounce message will say Hi. This is the qmail-send program at Mailserver. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1) And then it isn't such a bad idea having the host name in the bounce message. Sorry, just a popmail newbie that hadn't had his coffe yet. > > Regards > Sigmund.
